    Abstract:
    An extremely rare case of minute hepatocellular carcinoma originating in the caudate lobe who was resected and surviving for 9 years 6 months is presented. A 52 year-old male patient was diagnosed as having a minute hepatocellular carcinoma originating in the caudate lobe by lipiodol computed tomography and celiac angiography. Although the caudate lobectomy was successfully performed, refractory ascites developed for 4 months after surgical procedure. After remission of ascites, the patient is well and surviving for 9 years 6 months without recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. This case suggests that early detection and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma can lead to a long-term survival even when the caudate lobe of the liver is involved.
