[Hepato-lobectomy for carcinoid tumor of the hepatic duct].

Abstract

Authors performed successful right hepatolobectomy in a 13-year-old girl because of a carcinoid tumor of the right hepatic duct, resulting in obstructive jaundice. The patient remains well 2 years after surgical treatment, complaint- and symptom free. This is the first hepatolobectomy in the Hungarian--and the second one in the world literature performed for carcinoid of the extrahepatic bile ducts.
