title: [A resected case of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma with chronic hepatitis (type B)].
abstract: We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who tested positive for HBs Ag with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver. The sister of this patient, who was also positive for HBs Ag, died of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The patient showed elevation of alpha-fetoprotein. Abdominal CT scan showed a tumor in the posterior segment of the liver and hepatic angiography revealed marked neovascularity in the tumor. Partial resection of the liver was performed, and the histological diagnosis was fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient is now tumor free and doing well 20 months after the operation.
