Adenomatous Liver Tumours: A Comprehensive Guide at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi

What Are Adenomatous Liver Tumours?

Adenomatous liver tumours are a type of tumour that originates in the liver cells. These tumours can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Typically, adenomatous tumours are benign, grow slowly, and do not spread to other parts of the body.

Symptoms of Adenomatous Liver Tumours

Small adenomatous liver tumours usually do not cause any symptoms. However, some symptoms may appear as the tumour grows, including:

• Abdominal or back pain
• Abdominal swelling
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue
• Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)

Diagnosis of Adenomatous Liver Tumours

Adenomatous liver tumours can be diagnosed using several tests, including:

• Ultrasound Imaging: Uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the liver.
• Computed Tomography (CT) scan: Uses X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of the liver.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the liver.
• Blood Tests: Can measure levels of proteins produced by the liver, which may be elevated in people with adenomatous liver tumours.

Treatment of Adenomatous Liver Tumours

Treatment depends on the size and type of the tumour:

• Monitoring: Small benign adenomatous tumours may be regularly monitored with imaging tests.
• Surgical Removal: Larger or malignant adenomatous tumours may be surgically removed.
• Liver Resection: In some cases, part of or all the liver may be removed, especially if there are multiple tumours or if the tumours are large or malignant.
• Liver Transplantation: May be performed if the entire liver is removed.
