CASE OUTLINE: A 25-year-old woman was diagnosed with HCC of fibrolamellar type immediately post-partum. One year after liver resection the patient remains well. DISCUSSION: This is only the second report of fibrolamellar carcinoma occurring in pregnancy. Other types of hepatocellular carcinoma in pregnancy have generally demonstrated a poor outcome, probably secondary to hormonal changes and increased liver vascularity. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1610 | DOI: | 10.1080/13651820310015310 | Pubmed: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18332985 | ISSN: | 1365-182x | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Cancer Pregnancy |
