Liver cancer, illustration
Liver cancer, illustration. In the right lobe of the liver is a very large tumour representing primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCCs appear grossly as soft, haemorrhagic yellowish-tan masses as solitary or many smaller tumours. Major causes are infection with hepatitis B or C. Metastases are common and the prognosis is poor. From Bollinger, O. 1901 Atlas und Gundriss der Pathologischen Anatomie, vol 1. Lehmann, Munich.
