Clinical features and etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma arising in patients with membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava: In reference to hepatitis viral infection

Abstract

Chronic congestion in the liver, caused by an outflow block of hepatic veins and subsequent histopathologic change, must have led to HCC in two patients without any hepatitis viral markers. Patients with MOVC should be followed closely as a high-risk group for HCC.
