    Pedunculated primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHCC) presents differently than typical forms, with lower rates of hepatitis B and alpha fetal protein. This unique PHCC subtype shows higher resectability, potentially improving patient survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHCC) is a common liver cancer.
    • Typical PHCC presentations are well-documented.
    • Pedunculated PHCC is a rare variant requiring specific characterization.

    Observation:

    • Three new cases of pedunculated PHCC were identified and analyzed.
    • These cases were compared against established data for typical PHCC presentations.
    • Distinct clinical and biochemical differences were noted in pedunculated lesions.

    Findings:

    • Pedunculated PHCC demonstrated a weaker association with hepatitis B virus infection.
    • Alpha-fetoprotein levels were less frequently elevated in pedunculated PHCC cases.

  • A significantly higher rate of resectability was observed for pedunculated PHCC.

    • Implications:

    • The findings suggest unique etiological or pathogenetic pathways for pedunculated PHCC.
    • Higher resectability rates offer improved surgical treatment opportunities.
    • Enhanced understanding may lead to better prognostic predictions and tailored treatment strategies for this PHCC subgroup.
