Fibrolamellar carcinoma of the liver--a case report from Japan and a review of the literature

H Kohno et al. HPB Surg. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

The first Japanese case of fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) of the liver is described. The 17-year-old Japanese male affected died of the disease 25 months after palliative operation. The diagnosis of FLC had not been confirmed before autopsy. Pre-operative diagnosis of FLC is important to surgeons. According to the literature, FLC is rare in Asia. The endemic discrepancy may suggest that the carcinogenic factors are different from those of general hepatocellular carcinoma.
