==Hepatic adenoma==
*[[AKA]] ''hepatocellular adenoma'', abbreviated ''HCA''.
*[[AKA]] ''hepatocellular adenoma'', abbreviated ''HCA''.
===General===
{{Main|Hepatic adenoma}}
*Grow under the influence of sex hormones.

**May rupture in [[pregnancy]].
*Usually diagnosed by radiology.
 
===Gross===
Features:<ref>STC S.20, 19 Jan 2009.</ref>
*Often subcapsular location.
*Well circumscribed, but not encapsulated.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Sheets or cords of cells with mild variation of cell and nuclear size.<ref name=Ref_PBoD923>{{Ref PBoD|923}}</ref>
*Cords of cells upto 3 cells thick.<ref>STC S.19, 19 Jan 2009.</ref>
*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]].<ref>SN. 29 May 2009.</ref>
**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]].
