OBJECTIVE To study the developmental and clinicopathological characteristics of liver tumors in China. METHODS Routine methods were utilized to analyse the composition and clinicopathological features of 3,160 cases of liver tumors which were surgically resected during a period of 14 years. RESULTS 25 types of liver tumors arising from three germinal layers were studied. Tumor-like lesions, 4 types, 112 cases (3.5%); benign tumors, 10 types, 499 cases (15.8%); malignant tumors, 11 types, 2,549 cases (80.7%). Of the three groups, the most common being inflammatory pseudotumors, accounting for 73.2% of tumor-like lesions, cavernous hemangioma, accounting for 74.3% of benign tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma, accounting for 96.8% of malignant tumors respectively. The association of cirrhosis in small hepatocellular carcinoma (< 3 cm) was as high as 83.2%. CONCLUSIONS A close relationship between HBV, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma exists.
