Abstract PDF: A 52-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment of known hepatocelluar carcinoma. He did not have risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma, such as hepatitis virus infection, alcohol abuse and occupational history. We performed CT scan that showed a single nodule with a diameter of 4 cm in the segment Ⅴ. MR imaging showed the same nodule in the segment Ⅴ without any additional nodule in the liver. We performed segmentectomy for the segment Ⅴ, Ⅵ, and Ⅶ. Five months later, follow-up CT scan showed disseminated hypervascular nodules involving the remaining liver. Hepatic angiography also showed multiple hypervascular nodules in the remaining liver, indicating early recurrence by intrahepatic metastasis. We then performed transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). At present, this patient underwent TACE for ten times, but was still found to have new intrahepatic metastases, tumor invasion to the portal vein and lymph node metastasis in the peripancreatic area.

A Case of High Grade Dysplastic Nodule, Diagnosed as Hepatocelluar Carcinoma before Operation: Sang-Hyung Cho, Joong-Won Park, Hyun-Bae Son, Seong-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Woo-Jin Lee, Sang-Jae Park, Eun-Kyung Hong, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):57-60.

Abstract PDF: A 58-years-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment due to hepatic mass which was found on US. He was a heavy drinker and there was no evidence of abnormal finding in liver function test including HBs Ag and Anti-HCV Ab negative. Liver CT revealed an enhancing hepatic mass on arterial phase. we had confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma by sono-guided liver biopsy, and so performed left lobectomy. After operation, We diagnosed the resected liver specimen not hepatocellular carcinoma but high grade dysplastic nodule by several immunohistochemical staining. There was no evidence of recurrence during 5-month follow-up.

A Case of Atypical Imaging Finding for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Sang-Hyung Cho, Seong-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Woo-Jin Lee, Sang-Jae Park, Joong-Won Park, Eun-Kyung Hong, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):77-79. Published online July 31, 2003

Abstract PDF: A　62-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment due to hepatocellular carcinoma. He was performed to TACE once. Threre was no evidence of abnormal finding except HBs Ag positive. We performed four times of TACE. Another hepatic mass was found on Liver CT which was observed in delyed phase not in arterial phase, portal phase. We diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma by sono-guided Liver biopsy and radiofrequency ablation was performed because of no response to further TACE. There wad no evidence of recurring during 3-month follow-up.

A Case of Well-differenciatied Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Dysplastic Nodule: Jeon-Ho Yang, Joong-Won Park, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Sang-Jae Park, Eun Kyung Hong, Young-Soo Moon, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2002;2(1):96-100. Published online July 31, 2002

Abstract PDF: A 35-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital, because a hepatic mass had been found on CT at another hospital. He was a heavy drinker, but he has never experienced any significant disease so far. Anti-HBs Ab, HBs Ag and anti-HCV Ab were negative. AFP level was normal. Triphasic liver CT scan revealed a 1.9 cm-sized, well-enhanced lesion at S6 on arterial phase. This lesion becomes isoattenuation on portal phase and slightly enhancing lesion on delayed phase. SPIO MRI scan reavealed a 1.9 cm-sized lesion with high signal intensity at S6 on T2WI. Precontrast ultrasonography revealed a enhancing nodule with mosaic pattern on S6 Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography revealed a centrally enhancing nodule early phase that showed washout on delayed phase. We had considered as the hepatocellular carcinoma. Segmentectomy of S6 for diagnosis and treatment was performed. We confirmed it to be well-differenciated hepatocellular carcinoma in dysplastic nodule. There was no evidence of recurrence during 9-month follow-up.

A Case of Large Well-differenciated Hepatocellular Carcinoma without Underlying Liver Cirrhosis: Jeon-Ho Yang, Joon-Won Park, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Sang-Jae Park, Eun Kyung Hong, Young-Soo Moon, Chan-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2002;2(1):101-104.

Abstract PDF: A 66-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital, because a hepatic mass had been found on CT at another hospital and confirmed as hepatocellular carcinoma by tissue diagnosis. He has never experienced any significant disease so fa. Anti-HBs, HBs antigen and anti-HCV were negative. Alpha fetoprotein level was normal. Triphasic liver CT scan revealed a 9 cm-sized, heterogenously enhanced lesion at right lobe on arterial phase. This lesion became hypoattenuation on portal phase and delayed phase. Right lobectomy for treatment was performed. We confirmed it tobe well-differenciated hepatocellular carcinoma without underlying liver cirrhosis. There was no evidence of recurrence during 2 month follow-up.
