Hepatocellular carcinoma in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - pathological evidence for a predominance of steatohepatitic/ inflammatory non-proliferative subtype.
CONCLUSION: NAFLD-related HCC was found in non-cirrhotic patients in 42% of cases, alpha-fetoprotein level was normal in 63% and "steatohepatitic HCC" was the predominant histological type. Immunoexpression of K19 and/or Ki-67 occurred in 32% of the nodules and were associated with intratumoral inflammation and ballooning, suggesting that HCC in MtS may be preferentially "an inflammatory, non-proliferative subtype of HCC".
