Transformation of Fibrolamellar Carcinoma to Common Hepatocellular Carcinoma (A Case Report)

Abstract

Introduction: Fibrolamellar Carcinoma (FLC), a subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a rare primary hepatic malignancy. Several aspects of the clinical features and epidemiology of FLC remain unclear since most literature on FLC consists of case reports and small cases series with limited information on factors that affect survival. Majority of the tumors occurred in patients less than 40 years old. This is a case report from Kermanshah University of Medical sciences. Post-operative diagnosis was confirmed of FLC and HCC in the liver.
