title: [Epidemiology of hormone dependent malignant tumors--ovulation inhibitors and liver tumors].
abstract: Since the first descriptions of liver tumours associated with the intake of steroid contraceptives, the literature has presented an increasing number of case reports as well as epidemiological studies on the relationship between benign liver tumours and the utilization of these drugs. We report 11 benign cases and one malignant case of liver tumours in connection with the intake of these steroid preparations.
