Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes 70-85% of all primary liver tumors and ranks as the fifth most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide [1, 2]. Steatohepatitic hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC) is a variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with established association with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), while its association with alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) is unclear. The steatohepatitic variant of HCC (SH-HCC) typically presents in patients with metabolic risk factors and either cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic NAFLD and shares many of the histological features found in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It accounts for 5-20% of HCCs, and the background liver may show steatohepatitis [3, 4]. We present a case of a 53-year-old deceased male. Part of liver was received after autopsy, which appeared nodular grossly and histopathological diagnosis of Steatohepatitic variant of Hepatocellular Carcinoma was made.
