A rare hepatic tumour mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract

Rare hepatic tumours are often only confirmed after image guided biopsy or excisional biopsy with histology and immunohistochemistry studies. In this case we present a rare benign hepatic  tumour in a 53 year old female which mimicked hepatocellular carcinoma.  She was managed successfully with hepatic segmentectomy and had an uneventful recovery with no signs of recurrence 4 months after surgery. Post operative immunohistochemistry of the resected sample confirmed the rare diagnosis.
