Hepatic adenoma, also known as hepatocellular adenoma (abbreviated HCA), is a benign neoplasm of the liver.

| LM | sheets or cords of cells with mild variation of cell and nuclear size; cords of cells up to 3 cells thick, vascular (large arteries, dilated thin-walled veins), +/-cytoplasmic clearing/pale (due to glycogen); negatives: no bile ducts, no portal tracts, no cirrhosis |

| Clinical history | women +/-OCP use |
| Prevalence | uncommon |
| Radiology | subcapsular, well-circumscribed |
| Prognosis | benign |
General
- Grow under the influence of sex hormones.
- Associated with oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use[1][2] - may regress with discontinuation.
- May rupture in pregnancy.
- Usually diagnosed by radiology.
Gross
Features:[3]
- Often subcapsular location.
- Well-circumscribed, but not encapsulated.
Microscopic
Features:
- Sheets or cords of cells with mild variation of cell and nuclear size.[4]
- Cords of cells up to 3 cells thick.[5]
- Cells may have cytoplasmic clearing due to glycogen or be pale - obvious if seen.
- Vascular - large arteries, dilated thin-walled veins.
Negatives:
- No bile ducts.
- No portal tracts.
- No cirrhosis! If cirrhosis is present it isn't a hepatic adenoma - important.
DDx:
- Well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.[6]
- Hepatic adenoma is differentiated from well-differentiated HCC by its architecture; adenomas have cords of cells upto 3 cells thick & have preserved reticulin architecture.
- Focal nodular hyperplasia.

www:
- Hepatic adenoma (ajronline.org).
- Series of liver micrographs including hepatic adenoma (radiographics.rsna.org).
Subclassification
Based on molecular changes:[7][8]
- Inflammatory hepatic adenoma.
- AKA telangiectatic adenoma.[9]
- Associated with obesity.[citation needed]
- Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha-mutated hepatic adenoma.
- Inactivating mutation.
- Beta-catenin-mutated hepatic adenoma
- Activating mutation.
- Unclassified hepatic adenoma.
Note:
- Beta-catenin is considered an oncogene.
IHC
- AFP -ve. (???)
- HNF1alpha +ve/-ve.
- Beta-catenin +ve/-ve.
