title: [Resection of recurrent hepatocarcinoma on a transplanted liver].
abstract: Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma is rarely treated by surgical resection and has not been reported in the main series of liver transplantation. In this paper we present the case of a patient transplanted for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis who developed a tumoral recurrence in the transplanted liver four months later. The new tumor was removed by hepatectomy and the patient is free of tumor 24 months after resection. Surgical resection should be considered a treatment of tumoral recurrence after liver transplantation as is done after hepatectomy.
