What is the gross morphological classification of liver cancer?

Everyone has heard of liver cancer, right? But how much do you know about the types of liver cancer? I hope the following experts' introduction can help you and let you know more about the types of liver cancer .

1. Nodular type

The diameter of the cancer nodule is less than 5 cm. Common types of liver cancer include: single nodule type: a single cancer nodule has clear boundaries and a capsule, and small satellite nodules are often seen around it; fused nodule type: irregular boundaries, and scattered satellite nodules around it; multi-nodule type: scattered throughout the liver, with clear or irregular boundaries.

2. Small cancer type

The diameter of a single cancer nodule is less than 3 cm, or the sum of the diameters of two adjacent cancer nodules is less than 3 cm, with clear boundaries and often obvious capsules. Cholangiocarcinoma is also divided into diffuse, mass-like and nodular types in principle, with single-mass liver cancer being the most common type. Tumors are often without capsules, with abundant fibrous connective tissue in the tumor and a hard texture, and the surrounding liver tissue is often free of cirrhosis.

3. Diffuse

Cancerous nodules are small and diffusely distributed, and can be easily confused with cirrhosis.

4. Block type

The diameter of the tumor is greater than 5 cm, and those greater than 10 cm are considered massive liver cancer types: single-mass type: a single cancer mass has clear or irregular boundaries, and a complete or incomplete capsule; fused-mass type: adjacent tumors fuse into a mass, and there are often scattered satellite cancer nodules in the surrounding liver tissue; multiple-mass type: formed by multiple single or fused-mass tumors.
