Abstract:
We present a 15-year-old male with a two-year history of gynecomastia and a four-month history of gradually enlarging abdomen and right flank pain. Examination revealed severe stunting with breast mass Tanner Stage 3, penile stage 2, and hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory investigations showed normal blood counts, liver function tests, alpha-fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. The imaging findings demonstrated multiple confluent masses in the liver, histologically diagnosed as fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
