[Inflammatory syndrome, anicteric cholestasis and hepatic adenoma].
An unusual form of adenoma of left lobe of liver was detected fortuitously in a young woman with an inflammatory syndrome and an anicteric cholestasis. In this case, a positive correlation existed between the adenoma and the treatment with estrogens, the disappearance of the biologic anomalies after exeresis of the adenoma being suggestive of an increased production of fibrinogen by hepatocytes. The cholestasis was probably the result of pressure exerted by the adenoma. Excision of the adenoma was justified by the risk of hemorrhagic complications and the possibility of malignant changes in the tumor.
