Abstract PDF: Combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is an uncommon form of primary liver cancer having features of both hepatocellular and billiary epithelial differentiation. We report a case of cHCC-CC in a patient who was serologically positive for hepatitis B virus. A 39-year-old male was diagnosed by ultrasonography with an asymptomatic tumor in the left lobe of the liver. Based on radiologic and serologic findings of elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level, a preoperative diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma was made, but differential diagnosis included focal nodular hyperplasia, because tumor was enhanced in delayed phase in Godolinium MRI scan. A final diagnosis of cHCC-CC was made after operation.

A Case of Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinomas after Hepatectomy: Min Ju Kim, Dong Il Choi, Hyo Keun Lim, Won Jae Lee; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):48-52. Published online July 31, 2003

Abstract PDF: A 43-year-old man who had hepatic segmentectomy due to hepatocellular carcinoma was found to have a recurrent hepatocelllular carcinoma in the remnant liver along the resection margin. The patient has been performed radiofrequency ablation three times for recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas through 27 months after initial hepatectomy. We report a case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas after hepatectomy that were susccessfully treated radiofrequency ablation.
