The Classification of Liver Tumors

  • Chapter
Tumors of the Liver

Abstract

Tumors of the liver may be classified, according to different points of view, as 1) primary or metastatic, 2) benign or malignant, 3) of epithelial or mesenchymal nature, 4) derived from liver cells or bile ducts, 5) frequent or rare. The following brief survey will try to take into account all these qualities, but its aim is to emphasize especially the most frequent and, therefore, clinically more important types of liver tumors. (See also Chapter 3.)
