Hepatocellular carcinoma variants: radiologic-pathologic correlation

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2009 Jul;193(1):W7-13. doi: 10.2214/AJR.07.3947.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to show the imaging findings of variant types of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with pathologic correlations.

Conclusion: The variant types of HCC may not share its typical imaging characteristics. An understanding of the radiologic findings for variant types of HCC can be helpful in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
