Hepatic adenomatosis in a young woman with glucose intolerance.
BACKGROUND
A 30-year-old white woman presented to our department in December 2004 for clinical evaluation of episodic, severe, right upper quadrant pain. She was otherwise healthy and her only medication was a daily oral contraceptive pill. Her past medical history was notable for gestational diabetes and fasting hyperglycemia since her pregnancy. Family history was significant for a younger sister with diabetes mellitus, but no known family history of liver disease.


METHODS
Physical examination, laboratory investigations, multiphasic CT scan of the abdomen, exploratory laparotomy with biopsies.


METHODS
Hepatic adenomatosis.


RESULTS
Subsegmental hepatic resection followed by interval, long-term follow-up with hepatic imaging.
