title: [Liver resection and liver transplantation in liver cell adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and fibrolamellar liver carcinoma].
abstract: Hepatocellular adenomas are rare benign conditions but represent an indication for resection due to their risk of rupture and malignant mutation. Surgical resection should include a safety margin according to oncologic principles. Surgical resection does represent the optimal treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma without accompanied cirrhosis of the liver. The rare fibrolamellar carcinoma has the best prognosis. Liver transplantation is usually not performed in HCC without cirrhosis. In case of HCC with cirrhosis in stage I and II the relapse free 5-year-survival rate is more than 50% after liver transplantation. In the UICC-stages III and IV the results of liver transplantation are worse, which points to the impact of exact preoperative staging. Liver resection in HCC and cirrhosis is indicated in stage I and II in case of good liver function. In case of liver resection the survival rates are worse with significantly higher relapses compared to liver transplantation. For small, functionally irresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis liver transplantation is the treatment of choice today.
