Popis: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer. Spontaneous rupture of HCC is an acute complication with a high mortality rate. The HCC principally arises in the background of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis of the liver. In the last few years, the rising incidence of HCC in noncirrhotic liver suggests the presence of other factors that may play a role in liver carcinogenesis.
