Abstract
We report the case of a 38-year-old Nigerian female who presented with right hypochondrial pain. She had previously used oral contraceptive pills for about a year. Physical examination revealed tender hepatomegaly. Her liver function tests were within normal limit as well as alfa-feto protein. Abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed hepatomegaly with a lobulated mass occupying segments VII and VIII of the liver. She underwent right hepatectomy, and she recovered well post operatively. She is currently being followed up.
