Abstract：
Hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) are rare, hormone-driven, benign liver tumours. HCA >50 mm are associated with haemorrhage and malignant transformation. Guidelines recommend cessation of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) for size reduction; however, it is currently unknown how HCA respond to cessation of OCP. We sought to investigate the effect of OCP cessation on HCA size.
A retrospective cohort study was performed including HCA patients who stopped OCP intake within 6 months of imaging between 2005 and 2018. Biometrics and hormonal medication use were evaluated with self-designed questionnaires. Response of the largest HCA was evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECISTv1.1). Cox regression was performed for analysis of factors influencing HCA regression.
Seventy-eight HCA patients were included, diagnosed at a median (interquartile range) age of 32 (26-41) years. Follow-up was 1.6 (0.4-2.9) years. HCA size at diagnosis ranged 10-167 mm. After a median time of 1.3 (0.6-2.6) years after OCP cessation, 37.2% of HCA showed ≥30% regression, 5.1% complete regression, 56.4% stability and 1.3% progression. No HCA-induced complications were observed during follow-up. Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant association of HCA size with rate of regression; 50 ≤ HCA < 100 mm (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1-5.3; P < 0.05), HCA ≥ 100 mm (HR 8.3, 95% CI 3.3-21.6; P < 0.001).
Ninety-eight per cent of HCA remained stable or regressed after OCP cessation. A longer wait-and-see period was associated with a larger proportion of regressing HCA, without HCA-related complications during follow-up.
