Abstract: This case report describes large hepatic adenomas in a 35-year-old woman with Turner syndrome (TS) who had long-standing oral estradiol exposure and metabolic syndrome. Patients with TS may be at increased risk of hepatic adenomas when compared to the general population. Future research papers should seek to understand the true incidence of hepatic adenomas in TS, whether we should implement routine imaging screening for hepatic adenomas without abnormal liver function labs, and whether transdermal estradiol is safe after a diagnosis of hepatic adenomas.
