| Core Tip |
Hepatocellular carcinoma is not uncommon in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome. It may be the presenting feature or may develop later during illness. Early diagnosis and intervention are the key to improving outcomes. Strategies for surveillance include serial alpha fetoprotein and ultrasound assessment every 6 months with biopsy in cases with high clinical suspicion. Endovascular intervention is usually done prior to therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma which improves liver functions. Liver transplantation and surgical resection have curative potential while loco regional therapy may be offered to a select group with more advanced disease which improves outcomes in these patients. |
