Core Tip |
The recognition of atypical presentations of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is clinically important, since delay in the diagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment of the patients. Due to multistep process of hepatocarcinogenesis, atypical vascular enhancement is frequently seen in smaller HCCs. Thus, hypovascular, and hypervascular lesions without washout in cirrhotic liver should raise suspicion of HCC. Additionally, HCC can be present in uncommon morphological patterns, such as diffuse, and infiltrative types. Fibrolamellar, steatotic, scirrhous HCC, and combined cholangiocarcinoma-HCC are rare histological types whose preoperative diagnosis is very challenging. This article reviews tips for differential diagnosis of uncommon HCCs and other liver lesions. |
