“…Regression of liver cell adenoma after cessation of oral contraceptive use is poorly documented in the literature; to our knowledge, only 11 cases have been reported [1,[4][5][6][7][8]. A comparison between these cases and our patient shows similarities and differences.…”

“…The relation between oral contraceptives and liver cell adenoma is well established [1,2]. The regression of adenoma after withdrawal of oral contraceptives has been documented in a few cases mostly by means of liver scans or angiograms, and sonography [3][4][5][6][7][8].The appearance of liver cell adenoma at computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is well documented [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. To our knowledge, though, there are no reports of CT scanning or MR imaging for monitoring the regression of a liver cell adenoma.…”

We report the disappearance of liver cell adenoma, documented by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. A 42-year-old woman with a diagnosis of hepatic adenoma was followed up by CT and MR imaging after cessation of oral contraceptive use. At the time of diagnosis, the adenoma was 4 cm in diameter and appeared hypervascular on CT. At MR imaging, the lesion was hypointense on T1-weighted sequences, and hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences. The lesion disappeared 4 years after cessation of oral contraceptive use. We conclude that in nonoperated patients CT scans and MR imaging are useful for following the evolution, and documenting the regression, of liver cell adenomas.
