Abstract

Among the most frequent malignancies worldwide, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death (1). Its incidence has doubled over the past two decades, with the greatest burden occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Malignant primary liver tumors are usually described as a pathology affecting mainly men older than 40 years with a cirrhotic liver; they have rarely been reported in younger people and usually, in those younger than 40, most commonly hepatoblastoma.
