Abstract
|
|
|
Fever occurs frequently in cancer patients and is caused by tumor itself as well as infection and primary hepatocellular carcinoma is known to be no exception. Although hepatoma may usually be differentiated from liver abscess, the clinical
presentations of liver abscess and hepatoma may sometimes be quite so similar that many diagnostic methods cannot make a specific diagnosis. It is important to make differential diagnosis between these two disease because early establishment of
correct
cause and appropriate treatment can save the patients from the risk of mortality.
We report two cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma presenting with high fever & leukocytosis clinically mimicking liver abscess and review mainly about the differential diagnostic methods and their importance.
