A 52 year-old female patient with liver cirrhosis admitted due to icteric skin color for 3 weeks. Four months ago, she had been diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and treated with transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) at another hospital. Physical findings revealed that she had icteric sclera without ascites or palpable hepatosplenomegaly. Total bilirubin was 6.0mg/dL, ALT/AST was 117/111 IU/L. Computed tomography showed 3cm sized nodular mass involving left lateral segment of the liver and left intrahepatic bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) revealed filling defect of left intrahepaitc duct and common hepatic duct, suggesting left intrahepatic duct and common hepatic duct invasion of HCC. After endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage(ERBD) with stent insertion, total bilirubin was decreased and clinical symptoms were improved. She was treated with TACE using adriamycin after ERBD. Thereafter, she was prescribed oral 5-fluorouracil and treated with external radiotherapy(4,500cGy). Five months later after the treatment, CT scan showed decrease in tumor size, and jaundice was improved as well.
