Abstract
Liver tumors are classified as benign or malignant and malignant tumors can be primary or metastatic. Primary liver tumors may originate from hepatocytes, bile duct epithelium or endothelial cells. The most common tumors of liver are hemangiomas and the most common malignant tumors of the liver are hepatocellular carcinomas. Metastases are much more common than primary malignant tumors.
