Benign liver tumors are being detected more frequently due to the widespread use of ultrasound and complementary methods and due to improvements in diagnostic accuracy. In the case of a reliable diagnosis of asymptomatic hemangioma or focal nodular hyperplasia surgery is not indicated. Hepatic adenoma of considerable size should be resected primarily based on the risk of rupture. Improvements in diagnostic imaging as well as the optimization of surgical procedures with extremely low complication rates permit an individualized management strategy founded on evidence-based algorithms. In the case of an equivocal diagnosis, we advocate low-risk tumor resection instead of tumor biopsy due to the inherent complication rates of hemorrhage or tumor-cell dissemination and possible misleading histology.
