Abstract
An 18-year-old female patient was admitted with ascites, right upper abdominal tenderness and peripheral edema. Angiography showed complete occlusion of the vena cava inferior up to the level of the right atrium. By open heart surgery, masses of thrombotic material were pulled out of the v. cava inferior/vv. iliacae which histologically contained tumor cell populations consistent with a hepatocellular carcinoma. Celiacography showed a highly vascularized tumor in the right hepatic lobe. Histologically, it proved to be fibrolamellar subtype hepatocellular carcinoma.Keywords
