title: Hepatic adenomas associated with anti-epileptic drugs: a case series and imaging review.
abstract: We report four patients on long-term antiepileptic drugs, without any history of anabolic steroid or oral contraceptive use, who had path-proven hepatic adenomas at our institution. Imaging review of one case is presented here. An exhaustive literature search reveals only four other such case reports, none from the North American continent.
