Overview

NCI Definition: A distinctive type of liver cell carcinoma that arises in non-cirrhotic livers and is seen predominantly in young patients. The tumor cells are polygonal and deeply eosinophilic, and are embedded in a fibrous stroma. The prognosis is similar to classical hepatocellular carcinoma that arises in non-cirrhotic livers, and better than hepatocellular carcinoma that arises in cirrhotic livers. [1]

Fibrolamellar carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in PRKACA, DNAJB1, TERT, PREX2, and EPHA5 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Fibrolamellar Carcinoma

DNAJB1-PRKACA Fusion, PRKACA-DNAJB1 Fusion, EPHA5 Mutation, ARID1A Mutation, and ZFHX4 L1127S are the most common alterations in fibrolamellar carcinoma [2].
