Incidence, Mortality, and Predictive Factors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Background. The study aims to analyze in detail the incidence, mortality using the standardized incidence ratio (SIR), and standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), because no large case studies have focused on the detailed statistical analysis of them in Asia.

Surgical Resection of Ruptured Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLH) is a rare primary tumor of the liver, which typically arises from noncirrhotic livers and affects patients below the age of 35. We report on a 29-year-old male patient who presented with a ruptured FLH and was treated with surgical resection. Options for treatment and review of the management are described.

Early Laparoscopic Resection of Ruptured Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Introduction: Laparoscopic liver resection has increasingly been used as a therapeutic modality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its use in the treatment of spontaneously ruptured HCC has not been well documented. Case Description: We describe a case of spontaneously ruptured HCC successfully treated with early totally laparoscopic liver resection. Discussion: Early laparoscopic rese...
