Jpn J Radiol. 2013 Oct;31(10):706-12. doi: 10.1007/s11604-013-0233-5. Epub 2013 Jul 13.

Abstract

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FHCC) is a rare malignant tumor of hepatocyte origin occurring earlier in life than typical hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We describe a distinctive case of FHCC with biliary tumor thrombus (BTT) in a 25-year-old Caucasian patient, pointing out the imaging features supported by histopathology.
