Hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) are rare benign tumors divided into three main subgroups defined by patho-molecular features. In the case of unclassified HCA (UHCA), which are currently identified by default, a high risk of bleeding remains a clinical issue. Using an innovative methodology combining, laser capture and mass spectrometry analysis we identified a new biomarker for UHCA: argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) which correlated with high risk of bleeding.
