How Normal Is the Liver in Which the Inflammatory Type Hepatocellular Adenoma Develops? by Jing Han, Marius C. van den Heuvel, Hironori Kusano, Koert P. de Jong, Annette S. H. Gouw

“…These distinct CRP foci are mostly found in cases of multiple IHCA which indicates that the remnant liver may also contain IHCA foci. These findings show that the nonlesional liver in IHCA does contain abnormalities, and this may have consequences for the followup, especially since it is known that obesity may stimulate malignant growth.…”
