Hepatosellüler karsinom ile gelen herediter tirozinemili erişkin kadın hasta: Sıradışı olgu sunumu

Tyrosinemia is an inborn metabolic disorder of the amino acid, tyrosine. There are several types of tyrosinemia, the most common of which is type 1, also recognized as hereditary tyrosinemia or hepatorenal tyrosinemia. It is caused by a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), a liver enzyme which breaks down tyrosine, affecting major organs such as liver, kidney and peripheral nerves. This condition is especially characterized by progressive liver failure and cirrhosis, which carries a high risk of liver cancer development. Although most patients are diagnosed in childhood, a 17-year- old female patient with hepatocellular carcinoma is presented in this case report.
