Abstract
A patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease), treated with ethinyl estradiol, multiple blood transfusions, and iron-dextran, developed hepatocellular carcinoma and acquired hepatocerebral degeneration. In addition to the carcinoma, the liver contained extensive arteriovenous maliformations, telangiectasis, and changes of Osler atypical cirrhosis. The carcinoma possibly had its genesis in the presence of an ocongenic serum hepatitis virus, or the cirrhosis, or both.Entities:
