title: Repeated hepatectomies for recurrent follicular dendritic cell tumour of liver: a case report.
abstract: Follicular dendritic cell tumour is a very rare tumour of unknown aetiology. We report a case of follicular dendritic cell tumour of liver which was treated with extended right hemihepatectomy but recurred twice in the remaining left lobe within 3 years. The recurrent tumours were removed by further liver resection. The mainstay of treatment for this rare tumour is surgical resection.
