View source for Non-HCC liver malignancies

[[Hepatocellular carcinoma|HCC]] is the most common liver malignancy, but other types exist too.

== Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ==
'''Intrahepatic [[Cholangiocellular carcinoma|cholangiocarcinoma]]''' is a rare and aggressive liver cancer. It may also develop on the basis of cirrhosis. It spreads along the bile ducts. Treatment is surgical.

== Angiosarcoma ==
'''Hepatic angiosarcoma''' is very rare and aggressive. It’s notably associated with exposure to certain toxins, [[vinyl chloride]] and [[thorium dioxide]]. Vinyl chloride was formerly used in the plastic industry. Thorium dioxide was a radiocontrast material formerly used.

== Hepatoblastoma ==
'''Hepatoblastoma''' is a rare childhood tumor that originates in liver precursor tissue, but it’s the most common primary liver tumour in children (0 – 3 years). It usually presents as an abdominal mass.

== Secondary liver malignancy ==
'''Liver metastases''' usually spread from [[colorectal carcinoma]].

Liver metastasectomy may be used for multiple types of secondary liver cancers, most commonly <abbr>CRC</abbr>. Patients with primary colorectal cancer with liver metastasis may undergo metastasectomy with curative intent.

Metastasectomy or debulking may also be used in neuroendocrine, breast, gynaecological, or other secondary liver cancers.
