Abstract PDF: With advances in the diagnosis and local treatement of HCC, which have resulted in a prolongation of survival, extrahepatic metastasis of HCC influence the survival of HCC patients. In particular, the frequency of death due to respiratory failure resulting from pulmonary metastases, pain and fractures resulting from bone metastases has been increased gradually. The efficacy of systemic treatment for the extrahepatic metastases is discouraging because of a lack of effective chemotherapeutic agents, reduced hepatic reserve and adverse effects. We report one
case
of the prolonged survival in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma after treatment of bone and lung metastases.

Successful Retreatment by Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization after Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Arterioportal Shunt: A Case Report: Tae Wook Kang, Moon Suk Choi, Seung Woon Paik, Joon Hyuk Lee, Kwang Cheol Koh, Byung Cheol Yoo; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2004;4(1):24-28.

Abstract PDF: It is known to be difficult to manage hepatocellular carcinoma with shunt by using transcatheter arterial chemoembolization due to retention failure of the chemotherapeutic agent to the target site. Recently we experienced a patient having hepatocellular carcinoma with arterioportal shunt who could undergo effective transcatheter arterial chemoembolization after radiotherapy.

A Case of High-grade Dysplastic nodule Mimicking Well-differentiated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Dong Hee Kim, Seung Woon Paik, Moon Seok Choi, Joon Hyuk Lee, Kwang Cheol Koh, Byung Cheol Yoo; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2004;4(1):42-45. Published online June 30, 2004

Abstract PDF: The differential diagnosis of small nodular lesion arising in cirrhosis is basically restricted to early hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and non-malignant macronodules including large regenerative, low-and high-grade dysplastic nodules. Especially, differentiation of HCC from high-grade dysplasia is a well-recognized problem. Here we describe an unusual case of high-grade dysplasia which mimicks HCC. A 3 cm, hepatic mass was detected in a 47-year-old man with chronic hepatitis during abdominal sonography. Differential diagnosis was difficult with laboratory and radiological studies. It was proved to be a high-grade dysplasia after surgical resection.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Arising in Multiple Hepatic Adenomas: Won Hyeok Choi, Moon Seok Choi, Joon Hyeok Lee, Kwang Cheol Koh, Seung Woon Paik, Byung Cheol Yoo, Won Jae Lee, Cheol Keun Park; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):92-94. Published online July 31, 2003

Abstract PDF: Hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatic adenomas is rare cases, with few reported in English literature. A 47-year-old male was admitted due to increasing size of liver mass. He had open chelecystectomy and hepatico-jejunostomy 17 years ago. On CT finding, there were several hepatic masses. The largest one was 6 cm locating in the right robe. The largest mass revealed hepatocellular carcinoma though ultrasound guided biopsy, so right sectionectomy including S5 was done. Pathologic findings revealed that there were two masses of hepatocellular carcinoma and five adenoma nodules.
