Isolated caudate lobe resection for solitary fibrous tumour of caudate lobe of liver - A rare combination

SASTHA AHANATHAPILLAI

Abstract


Abstract :
We present a 42 year old female with a
solitary fibrous tumour in the caudate
lobe. Solitary fibrous tumour is a rare tumour
of the liver originating from the
mesenchyme. The malignant potential of
the tumour has not been well defined.
Pre-operative diagnosis is not always
possible as reported imaging features of
the tumour are also largely non-specific
and the diagnosis is usually by histopathological
findings. The patient was
treated with an isolated caudate lobe resection,
which is a rare and technically
demanding procedure by itself. The patient
was free from any symptoms and
recurrence one year after surgery.
