Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a recognized complication of hepatic cirrhosis, most commonly associated with alcohol excess, haemochromatosis and chronic hepatitis B infection. Long-standing hepatic venous congestion may cause cirrhosis. A search of the literature has not revealed a case of hepatocellular carcinoma complicating cardiac cirrhosis. A case is described and the association is discussed.
