Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest malignant tumor of the liver. Pedunculated HCC, however, is rarely observed. A pre-operative diagnosis before the advent of current imaging modalities was often difficult. A patient of pedunculated HCC presenting as a mobile abdominal lump, managed successfully by surgery, is reported herein.
