✦ Synopsis

Clinical and laboratory findings of 92 cases of pathologically verified noncirrhotic primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were analyzed and compared with that of 174 cases of cirrhotic HCC during the same period. Ninety-two cases of noncirrhotic HCC constitute one third of all the cases of HCC. They comprised 74 men (80.4%) and 18 women (19.6%) with a ma1e:female ratio of 4.1. The mean age was 52.0 It 14.5 years. Among them, 17.4% had a history of hepatitis; 65.2% were HBsAg positive. Compared with cirrhotic HCC, patients with noncirrhotic HCC had less frequent past history of hepatitis, lower positive rate for HBsAg, higher albumin/globulin ratio, and lower frequency in the elevation of serum alphafetoprotein. The results might imply that noncirrhotic and cirrhotic HCC have different pathogenetic backgrounds.
