Aggressive surgical management of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma in puberty
Extensive right hepatectomy and replacement of the invaded inferior vena cava were performed in a 14-year-old girl with fibrolamellar liver carcinoma. Despite the graft thrombosis the patient was discharged on the 50th post-operative day. After 3 years a solitary lung metastasis was resected and the patient remains with no sign of intra-abdominal or intrathoracic recurrence.
