Abstract:
The authors report the case of a 47-year-old female patient referred to the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología with abdominal pain and a focal liver lesion in the left lateral segment. After a careful tumor work-up, a laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged at the 2nd postoperative day. Histologic examination revealed focal nodular hyperplasia. In a search of the literature we find this to be the first case treated by this approach in Mexico.
