title: [Benign hepatic tumors].
abstract: A total of 30 cases are presented, of benign hepatic tumours. As a result of the confrontation of data from the literature with the personal experience of the authors has evidenced the diagnostic difficulties in patients with benign hepatic tumors, especially because these can be erroneously considered as either malignant tumours or as liver cirrhosis. The clinical and the para-clinical pictures are not suggestive in all the cases, and the necessity arises of histopathologic confirmation which can be achieved by puncture and cytologic examination, or by intra-surgery biopsy. This is particularly useful because some of the benign hepatic tumours may benefit from a radical surgical treatment.
