Two cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in mature women treated with the oral contraceptive are described. Radiological investigations in one case revealed the typical findings of focal nodular hyperplasia with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating central scar
The estrogen and progesterone receptor content of liver cytosol was measured in female patients with focal nodular hyperplasia associated with oral contraceptive use and compared with the receptor content of non-tumorous liver and of primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Receptors were found in very
A patient with a benign hepatic neoplasm developing after treatment with estrogenic hormones is described. After excision, the neoplastic tissue was analyzed for the presence of cytosol estrogen and progesterone binding proteins. The neoplasm was classified as focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver
A case of Focal Nodular Hyperplasia of the liver in a young woman taking oral contraceptives is described. The parenteral administration of an elevated dosage of progesterone in a concentrated period of time is a remarkable feature of this case. The vascular alterations, which consisted of a marked
BACKGROUND
The role of hormones in focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) has been investigated with conflicting results.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate oestrogen and progesterone receptor immunohistochemical expression in FNH and surrounding normal liver (control material).
METHODS
Biopsy
We report a case of liver cell adenoma (LCA) in a 33-year-old female patient with special respect to its clonality status, pathogenic factors and differential diagnosis. The case was examined by histopathology, immunohistochemistry and a clonality assay based on X-chromosomal inactivation mosaicism
Primary retroperitoneal cystic tumor is extremely rare, and its histogenesis and biological behavior remain speculative. Two surgical cases of retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma (Case 1, an 18-year-old woman; and Case 2, an 85-year-old woman) are reported. The cystadenomas in these cases were
Many hepatic adenomas have been demonstrated to have a clear relationship with oral contraceptive use, and it is presumed that there may be hormone receptors within the cytoplasm or nucleus of adenoma cells that mediate tumor growth in response to hormonal stimulation. Only a small number of
