TL;DR: HCC in Japan is distinct from that in the West that it is frequently encapsulated, livers are generally small because of frequent and advanced cirrhosis and small cancer, minute HCC, is not uncommon at autopsy.

TL;DR: The clinical features of 57 autopsied cases of intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma including 28 cases of the peripheral type (cholangiocarcinoma in the narrow sense) and 29 cases ofThe hilar type are described in comparison with those of hepatocellular carcinoma, with a review of the literature on the clinicopathological aspects.

TL;DR: The features of 24 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with prominent intrabile duct tumor growth seen among 238 autopsy and 21 surgical cases of HCC and significant jaundice are described.

TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that the lesion showing sarcomatous appearance of hepatocellular carcinoma represents the sarcom atous change of HCC rather than being regarded as the complication of H CC and sarcoma.

TL;DR: The clinicopathologic features of 26 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma surrounded by a grossly distinct capsule‐like fibrous tissue were studied; the tumor was relatively well differentiated and the capsule was the product of slow expanding growth.
