Zusammenfassung
Tumoren der Leber können benigne oder maligne Läsionen sein. Maligne Neoplasien der Leber sind primär hepatisch oder sekundär metastatisch. In westlichen Ländern überwiegen metastatische Läsionen, während in Asien und Teilen Afrikas primäre Lebermalignome häufiger sind. Die primären Lebertumoren sind entweder epithelialen Ursprungs und gehen von Hepatozyten bzw. Gallengangsepithelzellen aus oder sie sind mesenchymaler, seltener auch gemischtzelliger Herkunft. Das hepatozelluläre Karzinom (HCC) ist klinisch ein hoch maligner Tumor mit rascher Progredienz und limitierten therapeutischen Möglichkeiten (Wands u. Blum 1991, Blum 1995, Okuda 2000). Im Folgenden werden epidemiologische, klinische, pathogenetische, diagnostische und therapeutische Aspekte des HCC besprochen.
