Entry term(s) hepatocarcinoma
hepatoma
Scope note: Tumor maligno primario de las células epiteliales del hígado. Varía desde formas bien diferenciadas con CÉLULAS EPITELIALES, dificiles de distinguir de los HEPATOCITOS normales a neoplasias poco diferenciadas. Las células pueden ser uniformes o muy pleomórficas o formar CÉLULAS GIGANTES. Se han propuesto varios esquemas de clasificación.

Scope note: A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
