Chronic hepatitis C viral infection can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is generally believed that hepatitis C infection is not oncogeneic per se, but that the presence of cirrhosis determines the increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, a search of surgical pathology files from two large tertiary care centers for the years of 2001–2008 identified a total of 18 hepatocellular carcinomas in non-cirrhotic livers with chronic hepatitis C infection. In six cases the background livers showed bridging fibrosis while the remainder showed lesser stages of fibrosis. Cases were negative for clinical and serologic evidence of hepatitis B coinfection and occult hepatitis B testing was negative by PCR in formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. The tumors were also negative for TP53, exon 7, codon 249 mutations, a characteristic mutation strongly linked to aflatoxin exposure. The hepatocellular carcinomas had typical histology with no enrichment for unusual growth patterns or histological features. Amongst all resected hepatocellular carcinomas in non-cirrhotic livers over this time period, the prevalence of 16% with HCV infection was significantly greater than expected by chance. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that hepatocellular carcinomas can arise in livers chronically infected with hepatitis C but without cirrhosis. These findings raise the possibility that in some cases hepatitis C infection and inflammation can be directly oncogeneic. It is also possible that established cirrhosis may have regressed in some cases. Regardless of the mechanism, these findings highlight an important and previously under-recognized risk for hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C infected individuals who do not have cirrhosis.
