Adenomas are benign liver tumours seen almost exclusively in women aged between 25 and 50 years. Adenomas are recognised as having malignant potential, with up to 10% developing into hepatocellular carcinoma.Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is an unusual but not uncommon benign condition of unknown aetiology, in which there is a focal overgrowth of functioning liver tissue suppoed by fibrous stroma.
