[Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with chronic viral B hepatitis].

Abstract

In most cases, fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma has specific and distinctive histopathological features that distinguish it from hepatocellular carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging can provide characteristic features to obtain a diagnosis of this entity. We report a case of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma with a radiological-pathological correlation in a 37 year-old man with chronic viral hepatitis B without cirrhosis who underwent right hepatectomy.
