title: [Benign hepatic neoplasms: diagnostic problems and therapeutic approach].
abstract: The liver is one of the main targets of metastases arising from other districts, owing to its function to filter the systemic blood circulation and to its being the location of primary malignant processes. What is worth pointing out is the fact that the prevalence and contemporary prognostic severity of malignant tumours of the liver indirectly contributes to the study of benign neoplasms. This is due to the urgency of a differential diagnosis, the therapeutic planning and the prognosis prediction being rather different. The aim of this study is to offer a concise view about clinical arising, diagnostic procedures and therapeutic strategy of benign tumours of the liver, areas where surgery plays a central role.
