  • Title: [Benign liver tumours - diagnosis and management].
    Author: Eriksen PL, Schultz NA, Larsen LP, Villadsen GE, Grønbæk H.

    Abstract:
    Due to the expanding use of diagnostic imaging, an increasing number of liver tumours are discovered. Benign tumours are very common; they rarely cause symptoms and often they do not require any treatment. However, because of differences in the natural history including risk of complications and malignant transformation exact diagnosis is important. Dedicated radiological examinations serve as important diagnostic tools reducing the need for biopsy. In this review we provide an update on the diagnosis and treatment of benign liver tumours adding to existing recommendations on hepatocellular carcinomas and adenomas.
