Core Tip Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) has conventionally been considered to be a histologic variant of HCC, with distinct clinicopathologic features. Many series have mentioned that FL-HCC is less aggressive than conventional HCC. However, other studies have failed to confirm the observation of a better outcome in FL-HCC. Our study shows that FL-HCC has a favorable prognosis than common HCC and should be suspected in young patients with non cirrhotic liver. Aggressive surgical resection should be done for all patients. Repeated hepatectomy or excision of recurrent disease should be considered for these patients as it has a relatively indolent course.
