Early hepatocellular carcinoma

چکیده
Hepatocellular carcinoma may develop from multistep carcinogenesis via dysplastic nodules in the cirrhotic liver. The first stage between high-grade dysplastic nodule to overt hepatocellular carcinoma is vaguely nodular, early hepatocellular carcinoma. The consensus on the nomenclature and pathologic characteristics of both entities were recently established by an international consensus group for hepatocellular neoplasia, and were adopted in the recent World Health Organization series of tumor classification. We present herein a case of early hepatocellular carcinoma in a 58-year-old man with B-viral macronodular cirrhosis. We discuss the histopathologic features and differential diagnosis from high-grade dysplastic nodule of the liver.

Comparing PET metabolic parameters with clinicopathological factors in predicting onset of early recurrence in recently diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma
Introduction: Early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major risk factor affecting survival even after hepatectomy. Many clinical, biochemical parameters and pathological grading like fibrosis 1 index have been used for risk stratifying HCC. However not many studies have combined all of them. It is therefore important to risk stratify HCC especially with newer PE...
متن کاملIn Vitro Challenge using Thymoquinone on Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HepG2) Cell Line
Black seed (Nigella sativa) is considered as a biological response modifier. Thymoquinone (TQ) is the bioactive and the most abundant constituent of the volatile oil of this seed which has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-neoplastic effects. In this study, the effect of TQ on HepG2 cell line was investigated in an attempt to identify its potential mechanism of actio...

متن کاملStatus of serum alpha feto-protein (AFP) and midkine (MDK) levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sixth common cancers worldwide and predominant in Asia and Africa. A number of evidence suggests a possible role of midkine (MDK) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and methods: We studied MDK and AFP in patients with HCC or in healthy controls. MDK and AFP was measured by enzyme linked immuno...
متن کاملHepatocellular carcinoma in a sheep
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. In solid pattern, there were numerous tumoral giant cells thatcontain one or more large hyperchromatic bizarre-shaped nuclei scattered among clust...
