Popis: Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare primary liver tumor affecting predominantly younger and otherwise healthy patients. Typically, FLC presents with advanced disease due to the paucity of typical symptoms and no history of underlying liver disease. Depending on tumor characteristics and the patient's general condition, surgical treatment is the most promising treatment modality. Aggressive resection and liver transplantation have been utilized and are presently indispensable curative treatment options. Under certain circumstances surgical resection is also possible for metachronous metastases or local recurrence. Recent tumor biology discoveries have contributed to improved diagnostic specificity and systemic treatment options.
