Abstract
For a small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver resection shows most favorable outcome in
case
which liver transplantation is not available, although it has also substantial recurrence
rate. Here, we report a case of recurred HCC with multiple intrahepatic metastasis at 5 months
after surgical resection for small HCC was done. A 55-year-old man with chronic HBV infection
received subsegmentectomy for HCC less than 2 cm. A follow-up computed tomography (CT)
at 5 months from operation revealed that there were multiple enhancing nodules in entire
remnant liver. Intra-arterial injections of adriamycin mixed lipiodol and gelfoam particles were
instituted through hepatic artery. We assume that poorly differentiated cellular feature would
be attributable to this kind of very early and aggressive recurrence of HCC. (J Liver Cancer
