Abstract PDF: Positron emission tomography (PET) can detect tumor by estimation of glucose metabolism of tumor cells. We experienced the case of intraperitoneal metastatic hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) diagnosed by PET. 36 year-old male patient had undergone hepatic resection for HCC. In the course of postoperative follow up, AFP level had risen gradually. We checked the abdominal sonography, CT, and celiac angiography, but results were unrevealing. To investigate hidden metastatic tumor, PET was performed and small tumor on the side of spleen was detected. The tumor was removed by laparoscopic operation, and revealed as HCC. AFP level gradually returned to normal.

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.
