Abstract A jaundiced 17-year-old man was diagnosed as having a local recurrence of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma 2 years and 4 months after left hepatic trisegmentectomy with total caudate lobectomy had been performed. The patient had a tumor occupying the upper part of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. Complete resection of the recurrent tumor was carried out. The patient remains well 3 years after the second surgery. Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, a rare type of liver cancer, is a well defined disease entity with distinct clinical and histopathological features and a favorable prognosis. The good prognosis seems to warrant aggressive surgical intervention in patients with recurrences. Therefore, additional surgery for tumor recurrence should be considered. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case in which a recurrent tumor of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma invaded the entire bile duct wall was successfully resected.
