This study suggests that a 6-month cut-off point for assessment of regression of HCA larger than 5 cm to no more than 5 cm is too early. As no complications were documented during follow-up, the cut-off point in women with typical, non-β-catenin-activated HCA could be prolonged to 12 months, irrespective of baseline diameter.
