Hepatocellular adenomatosis is characterized by the presence of numerous (arbitrarily > 10) adenomas within an otherwise normal liver without a history of glycogen storage disease or steroid hormone therapy. Although the disease is rare, its importance lies in its tendency to produce symptoms such as abdominal pain and its potential for abdominal hemorrhages. However, the prognosis of hepatocellular adenomatosis remains uncertain. Here we describe the case of a 40-yr-old female with hepatocellular adenomatosis without evidence of serious complications, who was observed over a period of 11 yr.
