title: [Liver tumours in pregnancy, following previous intake of hormonal contraceptives (author's transl)].
abstract: Liver tumours developed in two women during pregnancy which followed discontinuation of hormonal contraception. Liver cell adenoma developed in a secundipara, 24 years of age, and its rupture during puerperium led to death by bleeding, after surgical intervention had failed. Hepatocellular carcinoma was recorded from a secundipara, 22 years of age, and surgically treated, following premature delivery. Problems of diagnosis and the need for interdisciplinary cooperation are discussed and compared with literature data. The pathogenesis of liver tumours in the wake of exogenous hormone inflow and in the context of subsequent pregnancy is another topic of discussion.
