  • Title: [Infecundin and benign liver adenoma].
    Author: Gergely M, Benkó G.
    Journal: Orv Hetil; 1980 Jan 13; 121(2):71-6. PubMed ID: 7366972.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case in a 33-year old woman who, after 11 years of taking Infecundin, developed a massive "benign" hepatoma which ruptured and caused a fatal hemorrhage. Death from loss of blood was eventually prevented by tying off the hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery. After 82 days the patient died anyway through septic and possibly toxic neural complications. In connection with this tragic case the authors suggest that this is a likely and even a partly substantiated danger of oral contraceptives. They discuss possible surgical treatment of such hepatomas and the hemorrhage which often accompany them.
