AI Article Synopsis
- A woman developed AA amyloidosis affecting her liver and kidneys while using oral contraceptives, leading to a nephrotic syndrome that completely remitted 7 years after stopping the medication.
- Twenty-nine months after her initial diagnosis, she experienced acute abdominal pain and was found to have a subphrenic fluid collection, suspected to be due to a ruptured hepatic adenoma.
- Over a 13-year follow-up period, the liver adenoma reduced significantly in size from 8 cm to 1 cm after discontinuation of the oral contraceptive therapy.
Article Abstract
We report a case of a woman who showed hepatic and renal AA amyloidosis with a liver adenoma associated with the use of oral contraceptives. A nephrotic syndrome secondary to the renal amyloidosis underwent complete remission 7 years after the withdrawal of oral contraceptive therapy. Twenty-nine months after the initial presentation, the patient was admitted with acute upper abdominal pain and abdominal tenderness. The abdominal ultrasound revealed a subphrenic fluid collection, and a presumptive diagnosis of a ruptured hepatic adenoma was made. The liver adenoma diminished from 8 cm to 1 cm over a 13-year follow up after the discontinuance of oral contraceptive therapy.
