LOPEZ VAZQUEZ, Nélson M; GONZALEZ PEREZ, Surama  and  LOPEZ VAZQUEZ, Hilda. Two interesting cases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.1, pp.186-194. ISSN 1561-3194.

Two patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma are presented. They were admitted at Internal Medicine Service at Maputo Central Hospital. Mozambique. They had a different evolutive behaviour in relation to what was observed in Cuba. At physical examination it was found large hepatomegalia, anaemia, high erithrosedimentation rate, hepatic markers, alkaline phosphates and non-positive HBS Ag. Diagnosis was confirmed by the echocardiography, tomography and hepatic aspiration biopsy. In spite of the progressive disease, patients presented some tolerance to clinical manifestations due to neoplasm.

Keywords : Liver neoplasms; hepatomegalia.
