Hepatoma is a common cancer that can be seen around the world and clinical correlation between infection and hepatoma is evident. Hepatitis virus infection is proved for its relationship with hepatoma. However, the knowledge of other infections is still limited. In this short review, the relationship between hepatoma and some trematode infestation including echinococcosis fascioliasis, opisthorchiasis, clonorchiasis and schistosomiasis are described and discussed. Opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis are confirmed for cholangiocarcinoma carcinogenesis but still lack evidence for hepatoma carcinogenesis. Schistosomiasis can increase the severity of hepatoma.
