Description

We report a case of the which was treated with TAE, RFA and surgery. In 2003, a 60-year-old man followed up for chronic hepatitis C and admitted for examination of intrahepatic lesions detected in urtrasonography was found in abdominal computed tomography (CT) to have two intrahepatic masses of about 4cm and 4.5cm and a solitary swollen 2.8cm lymph node to the right of the aorta. We diagnosed the intrahepatic lesions as he-patocellular carcinoma (HCC), but we could not diagnose the paraaortic lesion as a metastatic lymph node. We treated the hepatic lesion with TAE and RFA, and followed up the paraaortic mass, which became enlarged two months later. We resected the lymph node. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged. Serum AFP decreased from a preoperative 2, 685ng/ml to a postoperative 3ng/ml. Two years later, neither intrahepatic recurrence nor the presence of the metastatic lymph node was seen.
