Abstract
Laparoscopic findings in 17 patients of proven hepatocellular carcinoma are reported. The laparoscopic appearance was of two types viz., solitary mass (in 12) and a multinodular lesion (in 5). Five patients with a solitary lesion involving the right lobe of the liver had associated satellite lesions. There was no evidence of cirrhosis in 8 (47%) patients. Ascites, peritoneal metastasis and splenomegaly were observed in 24, 12 and 17 per cent patients respectively. The commonest histological pattern seen was trabecular (65%) followed by anaplastic (17%), acinar (12%) and fibrolamellar (6%).
