In Western countries, the growing epidemic of obesity is the source of an increase incidence of HCC, as a consequence of the onset of a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We present the case of a 46-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of a NAFLD with a Metabolic Syndrome (MS) complicated by HCC treated surgically. With rhis clinical case we seek to highlight a growing problematic, the increase in the prevalence of obesity and with it the disease of non-alcoholic fatty liver, making it one of the leading cause of this hepatocellular carcinoma and Liver Transplant for cirrhosis.
