description

A case of a 62-year-old patient with hereditary hemochromatosis is reported, who developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the absence of cirrhosis and other potential risk factors for HCC. Occurrence of HCC in patients with genetic hemochromatosis and noncirrhotic liver is a rare event which has previously been described only six times and appears to be limited to male patients.
