Multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patient

Discussion:

Multifocal hypervascular masses in a cirrhotic liver are highly suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary malignancy of the liver strongly associated with cirrhosis1.

It should notice that alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels are elevated in 50-75% of cases, and normal levels of AFP don't rule out the HCC in a cirrhotic patient with hypervascular mass2.
