French term

Foyers d'hépatocarcinome greffé sur une cirrhose

French to English Medical Medical (general) chemo-embolisation - liver cancer
Good afternoon

I am on the last line of a report about a patient who has had chemo-embolisation of the right and left hepatic arteries due to liver cancer and would appreciate help here as I am unable to find anything with "grafted on to mixed cirrhosis", so maybe I am not reading this correctly.

Here is the sentence

Foie explanté:

Foyers d'hépatocarcinome greffé sur une cirrhose mixte dont l'étiologie reste à être précisée par la clinique.

Thank you!

foci of HCC on a background of cirrhosis

or simply "in a cirrhotic liver"
Don't forget this is a path report - the pathologist is describing what is seen.

Good article here:

HCC typically form soft masses with a heterogeneous macroscopic appearance,
polychrome with foci of hemorrhage or necrosis. They could be single or multiple
with a size ranging from less than 1 cm to over 30 cm. Usually on cirrhosis, size of
HCC is smaller compared to those developed in non-fibrotic liver [6]. Grossly,
three main patterns are described [7]. The nodular or expanding pattern is the most common common and defined by multiple nodules with one dominant, frequently partly or
totally limited by a fibrous capsule, throughout the cirrhotic tissue.

"arising in a cirrhotic liver" seems to be a popular term too

Peer comment(s):

agree Gabrielle Leyden : foci...in a cirrhotic liver; against a backdrop of cirrhosis. Nothing to do with "grafting"
