Core Tip	Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare malignant liver neoplasm. The best treatment option is a surgical resection with liver hilum lymph node dissection. Currently there is no established systemic drug treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease. In this report, a patient with advanced FLHCC, initially considered unresectable due to vascular invasion, exhibited a significant tumor reduction following systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine-oxaliplatin, allowing resection. This was an unusual case where gemcitabine-oxaliplatin treatment led to a significant tumor downstaging enabling curative resection. Additional studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of the systemic drug treatment for FLHCC.
