肝细胞癌,可发生于肝硬化。病毒性肝炎是全球最常见的原因,但在美国,最常见的原因为慢性酒精中毒。肿瘤体积巨大,且因含有胆汁而呈绿色。瘤体的右方为小的卫星结节。
Here is an hepatocellular carcinoma. Such liver cancers arise in the setting of cirrhosis. Worldwide, viral hepatitis is the most common cause, but in the U.S., chronic alcoholism is the most common cause. The neoplasm is large and bulky and has a greenish cast because it contains bile. To the right of the main mass are smaller satellite nodules.
