title: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma in a 65-year-old woman: CT features.
abstract: A 65-year old woman with recurrent deep vein thrombosis underwent a CT scan of the upper abdomen for detection of underlying malignancy. A fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma with extrahepatic subdiaphragmatic satellite lesion was found. This uncommon tumor has distinct clinical, pathological, radiological and prognostic features and therefore it is important to distinguish it from benign liver tumors, especially FNH, and from other malignant liver tumors such as conventional HCC. Though the tumor characteristically occurs in younger patients, our case proves that older patients can also be affected.
