It was named for its histopathological resemblance of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer. The occurrence of HAC in the gallbladder is very low, and tumours that produce alpha-fetoprotein are even rarer. Clinically, it is usually diagnosed histopathologically; and the prognosis is...
