Hepatocellular carcinoma in a case of Dubin-Johnson syndrome treated successfully with right extended lobectomy

While the preoperative serum bilirubin level is one of the criteria in determining the indication for radical hepatic resection, it does not play a decisive role in the case of combined Dubin-Johnson syndrome.
