| hepatocellular c. |
primary carcinoma of the liver cells; symptoms include hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, weight loss, jaundice, hemoperitoneum, and other symptoms of the presence of an abdominal mass. It is rare in North America and Western Europe but is one of the most common malignancies in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and elsewhere. A strong association seems to exist with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and definite but less strong associations with some types of cirrhosis and hepatitis C virus infection. Called also hepatoma, malignant hepatoma, and hepatocarcinoma.
