Description
Ye and co-authors describe removing multiple liver tumors from a 22-year-old woman with glycogen storage disease type Ia, an inherited enzyme defect that floods the liver with stored sugar. Liver adenomas complicate this disease in up to 75% of patients, and her case report traces tumors first spotted at age 18 after diagnosis at age five.
She arrived in metabolic crisis, with blood glucose down at 2.8 millimoles per liter against lactate of 20.0 and triglycerides of 31.78 in the same units, showing how unstable her chemistry runs. After intensive metabolic preparation, surgeons used indocyanine green fluorescence, a dye that makes tumors glow, to guide a left hepatectomy that removed the adenomas precisely. She recovered excellently with no sign the tumors had turned malignant, a real risk in this population.
