Abstract
Summary Sixteen autopsied cases of primary carcinoma of the liver occurring among 3,509 autopsies at the Evanston Hospital during the past 29 years have been reviewed. There were 11 hepatomas and five cholangiomas. Two of these tumors occurred in infants. Of the 14 which occurred in adults, three, or 18.7 per cent, were associated with a true Laennec's cirrhosis. There were no instances of an associated toxic cirrhosis or hemochromatosis. The symptomatology has been reviewed and the difficulties in diagnosis discussed.
