As the most common type of primary liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is reportedly the third leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Advanced steatotic liver disease (SLD) emerges as the most prominent contributor to HCC worldwide. In this paper, we review the extrahepatic features of metabolic dysfunction-associated SLD that exacerbate the risk for HCC, including insulin resistance, obesity-related factors such as physical inactivity and dietary patterns, as well as influences of genetics, ethnicity, gender-specific hormonal differences, alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), smoking habits, and alterations in gut microbiota. Additionally, the mechanisms underlying how these extrahepatic features contribute to the development, as well as the detection and surveillance of HCC, are elaborated. With a better understanding of these factors, targeted interventions can be designed to prevent HCC development or ameliorate its clinical outcomes.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare neoplasm, with high mortality, originating in the bile ducts. Its incidence is higher in Eastern countries due to the endemic prevalence of liver parasites. Factors such as metabolic syndrome, smoking, and pro-inflammatory conditions are also linked to the disease.

Background: Fasciolopsis buski is a large fluke that parasitises the human small intestine, with its infection in the biliary tract being even rarer. Given its relatively rare occurrence in recent years, the clinical diagnosis of F. buski infections can pose certain challenges.

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).

Background: Anatomical liver resection has been altered by a deeper understanding of the internal structure of the liver, highlighting the importance of the intersegmental plane, a region lacking Glissonean branches. These insights have enabled a novel surgical technique focused on the precise detachment of the intersegmental plane, supported by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging and robotic platforms, enhancing the precision and safety of liver resection.
Methods: This study involved four patients who underwent robotic left hepatectomy using the Da Vinci Xi system.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the biliary tract are extremely rare due to a paucity of Kulchitsky cells. While their preoperative diagnosis remains challenging due to the lack of specific diagnostic markers and imaging findings, there have been no detailed reports describing the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities for bile duct NETs at the junction of the cystic and common hepatic ducts. We report a case of a woman in her 40s who presented with jaundice and elevated hepatobiliary enzymes.
