Unique ID: D006528
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006528
Annotation: human and vet only: note entry term HEPATOMA: also available is HEPATOMA, EXPERIMENTAL see LIVER NEOPLASMS, EXPERIMENTAL for exper anim; coord IM with LIVER NEOPLASMS (IM)
Scope Note: A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
