Liver cell adenoma is very rare tumor. We experienced a case of multiple adenomas of the liver. A 14-year-old girl was admitted for the purpose of the examination of anemia. Extensive clinical investigation such as ultrasonography, CT scan, angiography, and scintigraphy, revealed multiple tumors in the liver. The needle biopsy was failed, and open biopsy was performed. A tumor in the left lobe was extirpated, and the diagnosis of liver cell adenoma was taken. 15 cases of multiple adenomas of the liver were reported in the world, and 4 cases in Japan. Malignant transformation of liver cell adenoma was reported in a few literatures. In this case, the adenomas were gradually enlarged, so we must follow up this case strictly.
