Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma and splenicmetastasis

Giant pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma with hemangioma mimicking intestinal obstruction Abstract

Background Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (P-HCC) has rarely been reported and is characteristically large and encapsulated. Only sporadic cases have been published, in which P-HCC was combined with other liver tumors (mostly benign), making the diagnosis difficult. Case presentation We report a patient who was admitted to our hospital with clinical features of intestinal obstruction and...
