ABSTRACT

The tumors of the round hepatic ligament are uncommon diseases, with only a few reports around the world literature. A 22-year-old female patient with a tumor of the round hepatic ligament, with no clinical manifestations or lab alterations it presented. The lesion was incidentally detected by abdominal ultrasonography. The laparoscopy and computed tomography helped in making an accurate preoperative diagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with major surgery. The histopathologic results showed a fibroma of the round hepatic ligament. The patient´s postoperative progress was successful. These tumours have a variable clinical presentation, and its diagnosis is mostly make by ultrasound and laparoscopy to corroborate it, as in the case of the patient presented in this study.
