Hormonal factors, like oral contraceptives, create a predisposition to hepatocellular adenoma. We present the case of a young woman with an inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma occurring in the context of a polycystic ovary syndrome. In view of this possible relationship, it would be recommended to follow up patients with hyperandrogenism with repeated liver tests and ultrasonographics. Furthermore, this observation illustrated some difficulties to differentiate remodelled inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia and underlined the interest of immunohistochemical markers for the right diagnosis.

Immunohistochemical basis for FAP as a candidate theranostic target across a broad range of cholangiocarcinoma subtypes.
Front Nucl Med

Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, United States.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the expression and location of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in various liver tumors, focusing on cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatocellular adenoma (HCA), and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).
- FAP immunostaining results showed that a high percentage of CCA exhibited moderate to strong FAP expression compared to other tumor types, indicating a significant distinction.
- The findings suggest that FAP is consistently present in CCA tumor stroma regardless of clinical features, highlighting its potential as a target for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in treating different CCA subtypes.

Distinguishing unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA) from idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA), nonfunctional adrenal adenoma (NFA), and pheochromocytoma (PHEO) within primary aldosteronism (PA) presents a significant challenge. Studies have demonstrated high levels of chemokine receptor (CXCR) 4 expression in APA, thereby validating the use of Ga-labeled CXCR4 PET/CT for detecting APA. This study evaluates the efficacy of [F]AlF-NOTA-pentixather PET/CT in distinguishing APA from other PA types.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular adenoma is a rare, benign liver tumor mostly found in young women using hormonal contraceptives, particularly estrogen.
- A 40-year-old woman experienced severe right upper abdominal pain and instability due to a large bleeding adenoma, which was managed with arterial embolization and then surgical resection.
- The case emphasizes the importance of considering hepatocellular adenoma in younger women on birth control who have severe abdominal pain, highlighting the need for awareness and proper management strategies for this condition.

Introduction: Our aim was to assess parameters derived from preoperative blood tests as diagnostic or prognostic markers in patients with operable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We included 210 patients who underwent liver resection as the first treatment for suspected hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) or HCC (January 2010-December 2022). Parameters originated from preoperative complete blood count and biochemical blood tests were examined for associations with clinicopathological parameters and survival.

This case report details the management of a 29-year-old primigravida who presented at 35 weeks of gestation with abdominal pain and vomiting. The patient exhibited tachycardia and fetal bradycardia, with laboratory findings indicating severe anemia and elevated liver enzymes. An emergency cesarean section was performed due to hemodynamic instability, during which a ruptured hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) was discovered, necessitating an atypical left hepatectomy.
