title: Rupture of multiple hepatic adenoma and oral contraceptive use: a case report.
abstract: A 38-year-old woman was seen with a hemoperitoneum caused by rupture of a hepatic adenoma of the right lobe. The patient had been taking oral contraceptives for ten years, but discontinued their use three years previously. During the postoperative course a second adenoma of the contralateral lobe, not diagnosed at the first operation, ruptured. The relationship between oral contraceptive use and hepatic cell adenoma is briefly reviewed.
