Abstract

A 43-year-old man who had hepatic segmentectomy due to hepatocellular carcinoma was found to have a recurrent hepatocelllular carcinoma in the remnant liver along the resection margin. The patient has been performed radiofrequency ablation three times for recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas through 27 months after initial hepatectomy. We report a case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas after hepatectomy that were susccessfully treated radiofrequency ablation.
