Abstract:
Liver cell adenoma is uncommon and most often affects women of reproductive age; it is often associated with use of oral contraceptives. It is a very rare benign tumor of the liver in males and associated with use of anabolic steroids or glycogen storage disease type I. The surgical treatment remains controversial. We experienced 3 cases of male liver cell adenoma without use of anabolic steroids or glycogen storage disease. We performed right lobectomy of liver in 2 cases of mass on right lobe and performed mass enucleation with cholecystectomy in another case of mass on left medial segment.
