An Atypical Presentation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Multisite Metastasis following a Curative Liver Transplant

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy, and liver transplantation is usually curative. HCC recurrences are rare after curative treatment options, although they are prevalent depending on various risk factors. We present a 71-year-old female patient with an unusual...

description Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy, and liver transplantation is usually curative. HCC recurrences are rare after curative treatment options, although they are prevalent depending on various risk factors. We present a 71-year-old female patient with an unusual pattern of disease progression following a curative liver transplant with a metastatic presentation in the absence of alpha-fetoprotein elevation after 3 years of disease-free clinical presentation. We present this case to emphasize the importance of intermittent cross-sectional imaging in addition to ultrasound screening in HCC surveillance.
