The man in this question has hemochromatosis (bronzed skin, hepatomegaly, arthritis, increased iron content and cirrhosis on liver biopsy). Cirrhosis of any etiology is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. FA2019 p. 386.

Basal Ganglia atrophy is associated w/ Wilson's disease (which can also cause cirrhosis and therefore hepatocellular carcinoma).

Hemochromatosis is associated with diabetes mellitus, not diabetes insipidus.
