  • Title: [A case of hepatocellular carcinoma combined with liver abscess].
    Author: Yeom JO, Yoon SB, Kim JG, Oh JH, Jeon EJ, Jeong JJ, Choi SW, Lee S.
    Journal: Korean J Gastroenterol; 2009 Jun; 53(6):378-82. PubMed ID: 19556846.
    Abstract:
    Hepatocellular calcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is important to diagnose HCC exactly before management is attempted. But, the clinical presentations and radiologic findings of liver abscess, HCC, and metastatic tumor to the liver may be quite similar, and procedures such as serum tumor marker assay, computerized tomography, and ultrasonography of the liver cannot make a specific diagnosis. We report a case of HCC successfully diagnosed by surgery which was misconceived as liver abscess and not improved by medical treatment.
