  ABSTRACT: Aim: To evaluate the demographic characteristics and histological variants of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Benin City. Methodology: The surgical daybooks of the Department of Anatomic Pathology, University of Benin Teaching Hospital were used for data collection. All the liver biopsies received in the period (1987-2011) under review diagnosed with HCC were analysed using SPSS version 16.0. Results: The male to female ratio was 2:1 and the peak age of incidence was in the 50 - 60 years age group. The mean ages were 44.24 ± 18.52 and 48.75 ± 12.92 and the age ranges were 1.5 to 82 years and 20 to 68 years for males and females respectively. The modal age was 60 years. Histological variants of hepatocellular carcinoma were the pseudoglandular/acinar pattern which accounted for 26 cases (44.07%), followed by the trabeculae pattern 17 cases (28.81%), the compact/solid variant 10 cases (16.95%) and the fibrolamellar pattern which was 6 cases (10.17%). Conclusion: Hepatocellular carcinoma has divergent demographic and histological characteristics which have clinical implications on the treatment outcomes; hence pathologists are encouraged to include the subtype in their reports for prognostication.
