Abstract

Hepatocellular adenomas carry a risk of malignant transformation. However, little is known about the rate of this risk, the predisposing factors, the histological and/or immunohistochemical markers and the precursor lesions. Even the pathogenesis of malignant transformation itself is poorly understood. This review details the current knowledge on the subject.

Keywords: hepatocellular adenoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; histopathology; immunohistochemistry; malignant transformation; β-catenin activation
