    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Hepatoma, a primary liver cancer, often presents with non-specific symptoms.
    • Obstructive jaundice is an uncommon initial manifestation of hepatoma.

    Observation:

    • This report details three hepatoma cases where obstructive jaundice was the primary presenting symptom.
    • Clinical presentation of obstructive jaundice in these cases mimicked other biliary tract diseases.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of hepatoma was established pre-operatively in all three patients.
    • Recognition of obstructive jaundice as a potential hepatoma symptom facilitated timely diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this rare presentation can lead to earlier hepatoma diagnosis.
  • This may improve surgical planning and patient prognosis for hepatoma.
  • Highlights the importance of considering diverse clinical presentations in liver cancer diagnosis.
