Abstract

FNH is a rare and benign tumor of the liver. It is not a conventional indication for liver transplantation, and no transplant for FNH in a child has been reported to date. Multifocal FNH growing in adolescent age to a widespread tumor invading the whole liver and associated with severe refractory pruritus was an unusual indication for transplantation in a 13-yr-old girl. The operation and the follow-up were uneventful, allowing full recovery and disappearance of pruritus.
