Does anyone know the dangers of a hepatic adenoma during pregnancy?

Question

I am 25 weeks and have a hepatic adenoma. It is the size of a golf ball. Everything I read says that there is risk of rupture in the third trimester. Anyone know of this?

Answer 1

Hepatobiliary disease, although rare, may present during pregnancy with potential complications for mother and fetus. We present two cases of choledochal cysts and one case of a hepatic adenoma diagnosed in gravid patients. All three patients had acute events or failed medical management and were successfully treated with open resection, excision, or reconstruction during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy without requiring blood transfusions or tocolytic therapy. Although conservative treatment may be indicated in select patients due to the risk of underlying disease, we recommend surgical treatment preferably in the second trimester. With diligent intra- and postoperative management, pregnant patients can safely proceed with major hepatobiliary surgery

Answer 2

So this is caused by oral contraceptives huh? Damn, scary. Sorry babe, seems like it might be wiser to have them do the surgery to remove it now. I am sure they know though what is best and what is most common, though I would suggest for your piece of mind two other opinions then go with the two that match.

Good luck, I will pray for you.
