Abstract :

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. It is also a major health burden in developing countries like India, where most cases are related to hepatitis B virus infection. Portal vein thrombosis is a well known complication in hepatocellular carcinoma as well as chronic liver disease. The incidence of HCC below 40 years of age is uncommon in India, where the peak age of incidence is between 45 to 55 years. In this study, we present two patients with HCC with underlying chronic hepatitis B and portal vein thrombosis, in different age groups.
