Symptoms[edit | edit source]

The symptoms of hepatoid tumor can vary depending on the location of the tumor. Common symptoms may include abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Treatment[edit | edit source]

The treatment for hepatoid tumor typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health.
