Chiamaka Shared "Clin Med final " - 27 Picmonics
With Picmonic, facts become pictures. We've taken what the science shows - image mnemonics work - but we've boosted the effectiveness by building and associating memorable characters, interesting audio stories, and built-in quizzing. Whether you're studying for your classes or getting ready for a big exam, we're here to help.

Hepatocellular carcinoma/hepatoma
- Most common 1° malignant tumor of liver in adults

- May lead to Budd-Chiari syndrome and Anemia of Chronic Disease.
- Findings:
- Jaundice, tender hepatomegaly, ascites, polycythemia, anorexia.
- Spreads hematogenously.
- Diagnosis
- Increased α-fetoprotein (AFP); ultrasound or contrast CT/MRI, biopsy.
