At necropsy of a five-year-old sheep, a pear shaped, lobular yellow-brownish mass measuring about 12 ×15 × 20 cm was found to involve the right hepatic lobe. Microscopic examination revealed two trabecularand solid patterns of neoplastic hepatocytes.

Characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma presenting with variceal bleeding.

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma may present with variceal bleeding as the initial symptoms. The aims of this study is to investigate the characteristics of such patients. A total of 1046 hepatocellular carcinoma cases were retrospectively retrieved from our computer records between 1980 and 1993. The medical records and image studies were reviewed. The status of each patient was assessed...

A case of hemocholecyst associated with hemobilia following radiofrequency ablation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is performed as an alternative to surgical resection for primary or secondary liver malignancies. Although RFA can be performed safely in most patients, early and late complications related to mechanical or thermal damage occur in 8-9.5% cases. Hemocholecyst, which refers to hemorrhage of the gallbladder, has been reported with primary gallbladder disease or as a s...

Hepatocellular carcinoma in a non-cirrhotic patient with Wilson's disease.

We report the exceptional case of hepatocellular carcinoma in a non-cirrhotic patient, whose Wilson's disease was diagnosed at the unusual age of 58 years. The liver histology revealed macrovesicular steatosis with fibrosis, but no cirrhosis. The disease was treated with D-penicillamine for 3 years until acute discomfort in the right upper quadrant led to detection of multifocal hepatocellular ...
