Abstract
- Sarcomatous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare primary liver cancer. Pathogenesis of sarcomatous transformation of HCC has not yet been elucidated. Sarcomatous HCC has highly invasive and metastatic potential, compared with ordinary HCC. We present here two cases of sarcomatous hepatocellular carcinoma with an unfavorable prognosis. Other cases reported in Korean literature of this uncommon tumor were also reviewed.
