Overview

Liver mass as a separate entity was first described in detail by Hippocrates. He was also the first to differentiate liver abscess from other liver masses. In 1843, Dr. Robert Liston, a British surgeon, was the first to describe hemangioma. In 1911, Yamagiwa suggested a new classification system based on the cell of origin and divided hepatobiliary cancers into hepatocellular cancer and cholangiocellular cancer, with the proposed terminology of hepatoma and cholangioma. In 1958, I Bartok discovered hepatoblastoma for the first time.
