Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Mechanistic Distinction From Adult Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) has historically been classified as a rare subtype of HCC. However, unlike "classic" HCC, it occurs in children and young adults without underlying liver disease. The recent discovery of a deletion mutation in all FL-HCCs represented a major advancement in understanding the pathogenesis of this disease. This deletion results in the fusion of the g...

Advances in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma: a review.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma is a rare primary liver tumor that often arises in the absence of cirrhosis or viral hepatitis. Compared with hepatocellular carcinoma, patients are typically younger with less comorbidities. Diagnosis is often multimodal and requires a high level of suspicion, as traditional liver pathology markers, such as serum α fetoprotein and transaminases, are often...

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma: report of a case.

We report a case of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, which occurred in a 58-year-old man with normal liver function. Preoperative ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging depicted a large tumor in the left lateral segment, which was compatible with the typical radiological features of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. He underwent left lobectomy and no ly...

Radiotherapy for Metastatic Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that commonly affects young individuals without a prior history of liver disease. FLHCC commonly results in a better prognosis than HCC; however, the risk of recurrence and metastatic disease is high. FLHCC is typically treated by primary resection of the tumor with 50-75% cure rates. The use of r...
