TODO - Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is performed for benign hepatic
lesions that are symptomatic, too large to be resected, have a malignant
transformation potential, cause debilitating/life-threatening
manifestations, or in patients experiencing posthepatectomy acute liver
failure. Among benign tumors, polycystic liver disease (PLD) is the most
common indication for OLT alone, or combined liver-kidney
transplantation. Our 10-year experience with OLT for benign tumors
includes two patients with PLD and one with a benign giant fibrous
tumor. In this report, we present our experience with OLT for benign
liver tumors, commenting on relevant published studies.
