Hepatic adenomatosis (HA) is characterized by more than 10 adenomas in the liver, frequently scattered within both lobes. The potential for spontaneous bleeding, rupture, and malignant transformation is known. In HA, tumors show hypervascularization on arterial angiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with a large intraparenchymal and subcapsular hematoma in the liver, and an underlying large adenoma with atypical radiologic characteristics detected with multidetector CT imaging. On follow-up CT examination, a large adenoma was clearly visualized at the site of the previous hematoma.

Article Synopsis
- - Hepatocellular adenomas (HAs) are liver tumors linked to genetic mutations, with this study focusing on a 17-year-old with multiple HAs and a specific pathogenic mutation known to have a dominant negative effect.
- - The study identified additional somatic variants in some HAs and revealed significant transcriptomic changes, including alterations in various metabolic pathways, angiogenesis, and immune response.
- - Findings provide a detailed molecular profile of HAs associated with the identified mutation, paving the way for possible non-surgical treatment strategies by pinpointing new therapeutic targets.
Hepatic Adenomatosis in a Transgender Man on Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy.

Department of Transplantation, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Article Synopsis
- - The management of hepatic adenoma in transgender individuals on hormone therapy is not clearly defined, particularly in relation to sex assigned at birth versus the therapy received.
- - A case study is presented involving a transgender man who experienced hepatic adenomatosis with a molecular profile different from typical cases seen in cisgender males on testosterone.
- - Discontinuing testosterone led to the self-resolution of the adenoma, suggesting the need for personalized treatment strategies in transgender patients, challenging the current norms based on biological sex.

Hepatic adenomatosis is a rare disease consisting of multiple adenomas in otherwise-normal liver parenchyma. Though the discovery of this entity goes back several years, its diagnosis is still challenging in terms of its definition and pathophysiology. Clinically, patients may be completely asymptomatic and the diagnosis is only made incidentally through imaging tests.
