| Core Tip |
Here, we present a case of a 46-year-old woman with a giant, symptomatic, non-resectable haemangioma of the liver. The patient suffered from recurrent ascites and malnutrition. The patient finally received a liver transplant 16 mo following her initial presentation after being granted non-standard exception status. This case clearly indicates that liver transplantation must be considered early in patients with non-resectable, symptomatic benign liver tumours. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of applying for non-standard exception status to enable transplantation in patients with a severe clinical condition but low labMELD score. |
