Abstract
A case of a 62-year-old patient with hereditary hemochromatosis is reported , who developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the absence of cirrhosis and other potential risk factors for HCC. Occurrence of HCC in patients wit h genetic hemochromatosis and noncirrhotic liver is a rare event which has previously been described only six times and appears to be limited to male patients.
