Comments:
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) may comprise multiple nodules similar in size to typical cirrhotic nodules (as seen here). The tumor may have irregular borders or satellite nodules. Large tumors often show macroscopic venous invasion and/or a fibrous capsule. Small HCCs (<2 cm) usually lack venous invasion, necrosis, and hemorrhage. The macroscopic growth pattern has no prognostic significance.
