Hepatic Adenoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A hepatic adenoma is a benign tumor that forms in the liver, generally uncommon and in many cases producing no discomfort.
Common symptoms: it is usually discovered incidentally on imaging tests, although when it grows it can cause pain or a feeling of heaviness in the upper right part of the abdomen.
Associated factors: it has been linked to hormonal changes and to certain metabolic disorders, which is why its follow-up requires individual attention.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist takes part in its initial study, while the general surgeon and the oncologist may intervene depending on the course and characteristics of the tumor. If a liver lesion has been detected or you have persistent abdominal discomfort, the advisable course is to evaluate it with one of these professionals.
