title: Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma after prolonged exposure to TNT: causal relationship or mere coincidence?
abstract: Macronodular liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma were found in a 61-year-old male who had been exposed for 35 years to Trinitrotoluene (TNT). The question whether TNT had induced these pathological processes is raised.
