Core Tip
Core Tip: Hepatic adenomas (HA) are rare benign liver neoplasms. Clinically, they are usually asymptomatic. We report a case of intra-abdominal hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture, configuring a hemorrhagic acute abdomen with imminent risk to life. Combined with the analysis of cases indexed in PubMed, spontaneous rupture of a HA represents a rare and serious medical emergency, responsible for approximately 20%-30% of complications from these tumors. Early detection of suspicious lesions is a favorable factor for patient survival. After the discovery of HA, providing appropriate active treatment has positive effects on the prognosis of patients. The treatment plan should be based on the patient’s response to conservative measures and hepatic arterial embolization up to emergency hepatectomy, depending on the extent of the lesion and hemodynamic stability.
