Abstract

Intratumoral bleeding and/or intraperitoneal rupture occurs in up to 20% of patients with hepatocellular adenoma (HCA). Hepatectomy in the presence of haemorrhagic HCA has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. This study evaluates the outcomes of hepatectomy for haemorrhagic HCA at a single institution. Between January 1997 and December 2012, 52 consecutive patients underwent liver resection for HCA. Among them, 14 patients were resected for haemorrhagic (H)-HCAs (including 9 cases of intratumoural bleeding and 5 cases of intraperitoneal bleeding) and 38 for non-haemorrhagic (NH)-HCAs. The preoperative characteristics were similar between the two groups except for younger age (p = .001) and shorter duration of hormonal use (p = .001) in (H)-HCAs. There were no mortalities. Intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rate, and postoperative morbidity were comparable between the two groups of patients (p = ns). The length of hospital stay was significantly longer in (H)-HCAs (p = .03). In all the resected H-HCAs, pathology showed central haemorrhagic changes with tumoral cells at the periphery of the lesions. Liver resection for H- and NH-HCAs can be achieved with no mortality and comparable short-term outcomes.
