An interesting case is presented of a 78-year-old patient with cirrhosis
who was managed with combined treatment (surgery and radiofrequency (RF)
ablation) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and has survived for 7 1/2
years. Elevation of the alpha-FP (alpha-fetoprotein) levels was noted 2
years after surgery. CT demonstrated two lesions: one central at the
remaining right liver lobe, and the other at the excision site. Biopsy
of the lesions confirmed the diagnosis of HCC for both of them. RF
ablation of these two lesions was performed in one session with
technical success. Four and a half years after the first RF ablation a
new recurrence was demonstrated at the CT follow-up control. RF ablation
was again applied successfully. The imaging findings and the therapeutic
percutaneous management of this patient along with the natural course of
HCC and its recurrence are discussed, and the literature concerning risk
factors is reviewed.
