Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis : A Case Report
Abstract
We report a case of a 50 year-old woman with hepatocellular carcinoma which developed in primary biliary cirrhosis. During follow-up primary biliary cirrhosis, elevation of α-fetoprotein was noted. CT and hepatic arteriogram revealed a hypervascular nodule of approkimately 1.5 cm in size in the right posterior inferior segment of liver. Transcatheter hepatic artery chemoembolization was performed. To the author,s knowledge, this is the first case of hepatocellular carcinoma developed in a patient with primary biliary cirrhosis in Korea. (Korean J Hepatol 2000 ;6 :519 - 523)
