ABSTRACT
Tumoral conditions in the round ligament of the liver are very uncommon and exhibit nonspecific manifestations, hence a high level of suspicion is necessary for their diagnosis. We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain for several months; imaging studies showed a lesion of indeterminate nature likely connected with the falciform ligament, and only intraoperative findings acknowledged the presence of an apparently benign tumor in the round ligament of the liver, which biopsy confirmed. Following the excision of the round ligament the patient had a favorable course. As this is a pathologically benign lesion we deem its surgical management both advisable and sufficient. However, because of its small prevalence and the scarcity of literature involving this condition, further studies would be needed to provide information on natural history, treatment, and long-term prognosis.
