Abstract

Introduction: Three instances of the HBs’ encapsulation with a nodular, grey-white exterior surface were noted. The sliced surface was feshy, tan to grey-white, and there were patches of necrosis and haemorrhage.
Material and Methods: Names, ages, genders, and other information were recorded. Alpha fetoprotein levels (APLs), complete blood counts, liver function tests, and other laboratory data were noted. Contrast computed tomography was used to assign PRETEXT staging (CT).
Results: Patients frequently reported vomiting in 25 cases, 43 cases of abdominal distension, 21 cases of jaundice, and 19 cases of an abdomen mass. The distinction was noteworthy (P 0.05).
Conclusion: Researchers discovered that the majority of cases were epithelial as opposed to mixed epithelial and mesenchymal, and that women predominated.
