HCC presents a variable appearance at CT and MRI. [scielo.br]

How do liver abscesses present? Multiple abscesses tend to present more acutely and single ones more indolently. Liver symptoms: Right upper quadrant pain, tenderness, hepatomegaly, possible palpable mass. [brainscape.com]

The most common presentation is an asymptomatic mass. Patients may also present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and/or fever. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Typically presenting with mass effect or incidentally on imaging, MCN-L is considered a premalignant transformation, requiring resection. [academic.oup.com]

May present with severe, acute abdominal pain with bleeding into the abdomen, leading to shock. Other rare presentations include obstructive jaundice. [patient.info]

• Hepatomegaly

  Most are asymptomatic, but some cause hepatomegaly, right upper quadrant discomfort, or intraperitoneal hemorrhage. Most are detected incidentally on ultrasound or other scans (in Imaging Tests of the Liver and Gallbladder ). [msdmanuals.com]

• Hepatic Friction Rub

  Occasionally, a hepatic friction rub or bruit develops. Occasionally, systemic metabolic complications, including hypoglycemia, erythrocytosis, hypercalcemia, and hyperlipidemia, occur. These complications may manifest clinically. [merckmanuals.com]

Workup [ edit ] Upon discovery of a liver tumor, the main issue in the workup is to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Many imaging modalities are used to aid in the diagnosis of malignant liver tumors. [en.wikipedia.org]

Hepatic adenomas are most often diagnosed as a result of imaging done for unrelated pathology or following workup of a palpable abdominal mass (30% patients) [ 88 ]. [intechopen.com]

The upright chest radiograph is the ideal primary diagnostic study in the evaluation of hemothorax (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]

The combination of Hep Par 1 and MOC-31 will allow for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in most cases and will guide the selection of immunohistochemical markers for further workup. [archivesofpathology.org]

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  We therefore developed a quantitative immunohistochemical assay and monitored epoxide hydrolase expression in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC, n = 20), cholangio-cellular carcinomas (CCC, n = 2) and liver metastases (n = 57) of tumours of various origins [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In a non cirrhotic liver tumour resection is the treatment of choice, producing similar survival rates to transplantation. Image-guided tumour ablation is now a standard treatment option for patients with early-stage HCC. [brainscape.com]

Doctors want to learn whether the new treatment is safe, effective, and possibly better than the standard treatment. Clinical trials can test a new drug, a new combination of standard treatments, or new doses of standard drugs or other treatments. [cancer.net]

Prognosis is usually poor. Other primary liver cancers are uncommon or rare. Diagnosis usually requires biopsy. Prognosis is typically poor. Some cancers, if localized, can be resected. Resection or liver transplantation may prolong survival. [merckmanuals.com]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on success rates of resection in resectable tumors. 5-year survival rates are moderate in low stage tumors but these rates drop below 20-30% in advanced disease. [orpha.net]
