  • Title: Hepatocellular carcinoma complicating cystic fibrosis related liver disease.
    Author: O'Donnell DH, Ryan R, Hayes B, Fennelly D, Gibney RG.
    Journal: J Cyst Fibros; 2009 Jul; 8(4):288-90. PubMed ID: 19473889.
    Abstract:
    Early diagnosis and treatment of the respiratory and gastrointestinal complications of cystic fibrosis (CF) have led to improved survival with many patients living beyond the fourth decade. Along with this increased life expectancy is the risk of further disease associated with the chronic manifestations of their condition. We report a patient with documented CF related liver disease for which he was under routine surveillance that presented with histologically proven hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is important that physicians are aware of this association as increased vigilance may lead to earlier diagnosis and perhaps, a better outcome.
