title: Combined hepatic resection and radiofrequency ablation for multiple hepatic adenomas.
abstract: We describe the novel use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in combination with surgical resection for treatment of multifocal hepatic adenoma. We show three cases without recurrent lesions detected in follow-up examination. Two of the patients have subsequently gone on to carry pregnancies successfully to term.
