Abstrakt: A case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in a 32-year old Caucasian male carrier of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is reported. This case further supports the hypothesis that hepatitis 11 infection may be involved in the causation of HCC. Treatment of the HCC with Adriamycin was carried out in this case with little success. The association between hepatitis B and HCC is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
