[A case of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma mimicking a liver abscess]

A 23-year-old woman was presented with fever and epigastric pain. Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed a 40mm mass in the lateral segment. Blood tests showed the elevation of WBC and CRP. With the diagnosis of liver abscess, the antibiotics were administered, and the clinical findings were promptly improved. One year later, she complained of the same symptoms, and the mass had increased to 50mm in diameter. Percutaneous liver biopsy led to the diagnosis of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
