FLJ10038
Description:
Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare type of liver cancer that primarily affects young adults between the ages of 18 and 35. It is characterized by its unique histological appearance, with large polygonal cells arranged in a lamellar pattern. FLHCC is typically solitary and rapidly growing.
Associated Diseases:
FLHCC is not strongly associated with any specific risk factors or underlying liver diseases. However, it has been linked to certain genetic mutations, particularly those involving the DNAJB1 and CTNNB1 genes.
Did you Know ?
FLHCC accounts for only about 1-2% of all primary liver cancers. This rarity makes it difficult to study and diagnose.
