The recent epidemiological data show a major increase of its incidence in the western countries and USA, the explanation being through the growth in the incidence of viral hepatopathies, especially with hepatitis C virus. Of the patients diagnosed with hepatocarcinoma, 70 % benefit from palliative treatment only. The curative treatment in the case of hepatocarcinoma includes surgical resection, liver transplant, radiofrequency. Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided percutaneous cryotherapy, the method in progress of evaluation, seems to give spectacular results in the case of small size, non resectable situated very close to the hepatic hylum. The evolution of a patient with viral cyrrhosis C complicated with a hepatocarcinoma and the problems related to hepatocarcinoma treatment while waiting for liver transplantation was the object of an analysis that allowed the emphasis of the lack of tumoral progress and the reduction of tumoral volume until its disappearing from an imagistic point of view.
