Jaundice in association with hepatic cancer is ordinarily a result of extensive hepatic infiltration with tumor and/or functional disturbance of the liver in terminal stage.
However, we experienced three cases of a particular type of hepatic cancer, of which initial symptom was jaundice.

The characteristics and diagnostic keys of this particular type of hepatic cancer are described.
