Abstract:
Objective To analyze and summarize the clinicopathological features of hepatocyte nuclear 1A (HNF1A) inactivated hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) in order to improve the understanding of this kind of tumor.
Methods 102 cases of HCA diagnosed by surgical resection in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2002 to 2017 were collected. After immunohistochemical classification, the relevant clinical data and morphological characteristics of HNF1A inactivated HCA were retrospectively analyzed.
Results 17 cases were HNF1A inactivated HCA. The ratio of female patients to male patients was 13:4, with an average age of 33 years old. All patients had no history of diabetes, glycogen storage diseases and alcohol consumption. 94.1% (16/17) cases were found by hepatic space occupying in physical examination. Most of the tumors were the single nodule(12/17). The majority future of morphology was steatosis(12/17).
Conclusion HNF1A inactivated HCA rarely turns into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In hepatocelluar adenomatosis cases, we should pay attention to tumor heterogeneity and closely follow up.
