<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;p&gt;'''Hepatic tumors''' are tumors or growths on or in the [[liver]] (medical terms pertaining to the [[liver]] often start in ''hepato-'' or ''hepatic'' from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word for liver, ''hepar''). These growths can be [[benign]] or [[malignant]] (cancerous). They may be discovered on [[medical imaging]] (even for a different reason than the [[cancer]] itself), or may be present in patients as an abdominal mass, [[hepatomegaly]], [[abdominal pain]], [[jaundice]], or some other [[liver]] dysfunction.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;There are many forms of '''liver tumors''':&lt;br /&gt;<br /> * Malignant (cancerous):&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** Most cases are '''[[metastases]]''' from other [[tumor]]s, frequently of the [[GI tract]] (like [[colon cancer]], [[Carcinoid syndrome|carcinoid tumors]] mainly of the [[appendix]], ''etc''.), but also from [[breast cancer]], [[ovarian cancer]], [[lung cancer]], [[renal cancer]], [[prostate cancer]], ''etc''.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** The most frequent, malignant, primary liver cancer is '''[[hepatocellular carcinoma]]''' (also named ''hepatoma'', which is a misnomer because [[adenoma]]s are usually benign).&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** More rare primary forms of liver cancer include [[cholangiocarcinoma]], mixed tumors, tumors of [[mesenchymal]] tissue, [[sarcoma]] and [[hepatoblastoma]], a rare malignant tumor in children. There is currently no cure.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;* Benign:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** Hepatic [[Hemangioma]] are the most common liver tumors, found in up to 7% of autopsy specimens.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> *** A rare tumor is [[Infantile Hemangioendothelioma]].&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** [[Hepatic Adenoma]], mainly in women using estrogens as contraceptives, or in cases of steroid abuse&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** [[Focal nodular hyperplasia|Focal Nodular Hyperplasia]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** [[Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ** [[Hamartoma]]&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;==External links==&lt;br /&gt;<br /> * [http://pathology2.jhu.edu/liver/&amp;nbsp; The Johns Hopkins Liver Cancer Web Page]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> * [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/liver-cancer/DS00399/ MayoClinic.com: Liver cancer]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> * [http://www.bluefaery.org/&amp;nbsp; Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association] &lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;[[Category:Hepatology]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[de:Leberkrebs]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[ko:간암]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[hu:M&amp;aacute;jtumor]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[nl:Leverkanker]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[ja:肝癌]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[fi:Maksasy&amp;ouml;p&amp;auml;]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[pl:Nowotwory wątroby]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[sv:Levercancer]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[ur:سرطان جگر]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[zh:肝癌]]&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;{{oncology-stub}}&lt;br /&gt;<br /> &lt;/p&gt;</div>
