Abstract

Benign hepatic lesions are rare and liver transplantation in these cases is exceptional. We present a review of the subject, commenting on the aspects that have been subsidiary to liver transplantation, of which are highlighted: adenomatosis, polycystosis and hepatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (although this process may be a low to intermediate malignant grade). We assessed specific epidemiological, aetiopathogenic, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and aspects of the lesions as well as indication for transplantation, and the experiences of different authors on these pathologies.
