[Benign hepatomata while taking oral contraceptives (author's transl)].
In recent years an increase in benign hepatomata during administration of oral contraceptives has been reported many times. A case is reported here of a 38-year-old woman who took such contraceptives for 8 years. The cardinal symptom was a tumor in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Laparotomy revealed several nodules in both lobes of the liver which could be almost completely removed by a wedge-shaped incision. Histologically a multicentric, focal nodular hyperplasia was present. Follow-up examinations after 24 months show no enlargement of the remaining tumor residues.
