The role and clinical significance of ulipristal acetate (UPA, Esmya) in a complex treatment of patients with uterine leiomyoma of varied localisation of nodules according to the FIGO classification have been determined. Special attention is paid to the problem of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) against the background of intake of Esmya. As has been shown, there no reasons to associate UPA with DILI, since (1) UPA does not pertain to the group of drugs associated with a risk for DILI; (2) no cases of DILI have been recorded in patients receiving UPA in a therapeutic dose (5 mg). Treatment with UPA should be administered with control of transaminases. If ALT or AST activity exceeds 2×upper limit of normal (ULN) either isolatedly or in combination with bilirubin >2 × ULN, the intake of Esmya is contraindicated.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rarely diagnosed during pregnancy, its fibrolamellar variant (FHCC) is a specific form that is more often diagnosed in young women and is rarely associated with cirrhosis or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C viruses. Making a diagnosis at early stages is complicated by the fact that the α-fetoprotein (AFP) level is usually not enhanced, and symptoms develop only at advanced stages of disease. A clinical case of FHCC in a 27-year-old woman is presented, diagnosed at the 30th week of pregnancy after persistent dragging and spastic pains in the epigastric region. US detected a tumour with sizes 110 × 81 × 89 mm and foci in the lungs. Variants of treating such patients depending on tumour characteristics, pregnancy period and family preferences are discussed.
