  • Title: Fibrolamellar carcinoma of the liver.
    Author: Yamaguchi R, Tajika T, Kanda H, Nakanishi K, Kawanishi J.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1999; 46(27):1706-9. PubMed ID: 10430327.
    Abstract:
    We report a resected case of fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) of the liver that occurred in a 21 year-old Japanese male with a normal liver. Lymph node metastases around the common hepatic artery and the hepatic hilum were revealed by a post-operative histological examination. He was in good health 7 months after the surgery. This case demonstrates typical findings of FLC, radiologically and histologically. The details are described in this report. Moreover, after reviewing 12 Japanese cases, we emphasize the differential diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) as the following: 1) Calcification is frequently seen in FLC. 2) The central scar of FLC is visualized as an area of low intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
