Primary liver cancer is cancer that starts in the liver. There are several different types, including:

- Biliary tree cancer, which includes cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and gallbladder cancer.
- Fibrolamellar, a rare form of liver cancer that affects teenagers and young adults who have no history of liver disease.
- Angioscarcoma, a cancer of the inner lining of blood vessels, which may occur in the liver.
