[Radiological imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma].
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant hepatic neoplasm. 80% of HCC's occur in cirrhotic liver. This article describes symptomatology of this neoplasm and its special, rare form - fibrolamellar carcinoma. The authors present current knowledge on liver imaging - especially ultrasound, computed tomography, and MRI, radiological findings, limitations of imaging the cirrhotic liver and usefulness of these procedures in diagnosis of HCC.
