N2 - Thirty-two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in individuals with cirrhosis had a potentially curative surgical procedure. Twenty-two had segmental hepatic resections (HR), and 10 underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). The diagnosis of hepatic malignancy was established in each case preoperatively, and each case was studied intraoperatively by means of sonography. Postoperatively each surgical specimen was examined pathologically with attention to the possibility of intrahepatic tumor spread. Twenty-three of the 32 patients had single small HCC lesion (
