    Notes: Abstract. The purpose of our work was to provide data on the recurrence of resected benign hepatic lesions and to evaluate the value of follow-up examinations in this group of patients. From August to October 1993, 75 patients who had been admitted for liver surgery for benign tumors between 1975 and 1993 were controlled by physical examinations, serological tests, US, and, in the case of equivocal US findings, by CT. The histological diagnoses of the operative specimen included hydatidosis in 43 patients, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in 12 patients, liver cell adenoma in 8 patients, cavernous hemangioma in 8 patients, and congenital cyst in 4 patients. Hepatic scars were observed in 36 of the 75 patients. Four cases of intrahepatic recurrence and 1 case of intraperitoneal spread were observed in the 42 patients with recent hydatosis. Long-term postoperative controls (specific serological tests, US) are necessary in the management of patients with hydatid disease. Follow-up examinations are not indicated in asymptomatic patients who have been operated on for FNH, hemangioma, or congenital cysts.
