Clin Case Rep. 2017 Mar 16;5(5):574-577. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.814. eCollection 2017 May.

Abstract

Intratumoral or intraperitoneal hemorrhage is a recognized complication of liver adenomatosis. We report a case of multifocal massive liver adenomatosis presenting as chronic iron deficiency anemia. Clinicians' awareness about this atypical presentation not highlighted in the literature is important to allow timely diagnosis and surgical intervention to prevent fatal complications.

Keywords: Hepatocellular adenoma; intratumoral hemorrhage; iron deficiency anemia; liver adenomatosis.
