Source abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare malignancy in children, typically requiring chemotherapy, surgical resection, and/or transplant for treatment. Whether HCC arises as a novel tumor (de novo) or in the setting of chronic liver disease determines treatment strategy. We describe a case of a pediatric patient with unresectable HCC due to macrovascular invasion and tumor thrombus of the portal vein who received transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and underwent successful orthotopic liver transplantation outside of Milan criteria.
