title: A female case of type VIII glycogenosis who developed cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular tumor.
abstract: The case of a 17-year-old female with a rare form of type VIII glycogenosis who developed cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular tumor is reported. Laparoscopy showed a tumor 50 mm in diameter in the lower portion of the right lobe of the liver. The tumor was biopsied under ultrasonic guidance, and tentatively diagnosed as adenomatous hyperplasia. The patient was also diagnosed as having type VIII glycogenosis (phosphorylase kinase deficiency).
