Abstract

<p>We report the first Japanese patient with unclassified hepatocellular adenoma who presented with acute pain in the abdomen due to intratumoral hemorrhage and whose immunohistological study revealed high tumoral expression of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1). A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with severe abdominal pain and liver tumors. An abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomograhy demonstrated multiple hypervascular liver tumors, some of which had hemorrhage and necrosis. Upon tumor biopsy, we found smaller hepatocytes with larger nuclei and the immunohistological study led to the diagnosis of unclassified hepatocellular adenoma. Additional examinations confirmed a high expression of ASS1, a marker for unclassified hepatocellular adenoma. ASS1 expression has been associated with intratumoral bleeding, which is consistent with the clinical course of our patient.</p>
