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.
