Abstract Hepatocellular adenoma is a benign liver tumor that is rare in children and most commonly occurs in association with underlying conditions such as glycogen storage disease. Despite its benign nature, hepatocellular adenoma carries risks of hemorrhage, rupture, and malignant transformation. Patients are often asymptomatic until complications such as hemorrhage or rupture develop. MRI is the preferred imaging modality, providing superior lesion characterization. Management strategies include discontinuation of hormone therapy, serial imaging, and surgical resection. In select cases, liver transplantation may be considered for patients with adenomatosis, and transarterial embolization can be used to control acute hemorrhage.
