Abstract:
Primary liver cancer occurs frequently in male. It has a fatal outcome within the first 6 months and deaths are mainly due to coma and cachexia. 3 initial symptoms are often seen: anorexia, pain under the right costal margin and diarrhea. Liver cancer occurs frequently on a cirrhotic liver. Mass cancer and nodular cancer are the prevailing forms. Microscopically, hepatocellular carcinoma is the predominant picture. Metastasis to the liver pedicle nodes is often noted and distant metastasis is uncommon
