| Popis: | Extrahepatic lymph node metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are usually observed in patients with advanced and poorly differentiated HCC. We encountered a patient with multiple, systemic lymph node metastases from a small HCC (18 mm in diameter), which was nodular and had a capsule at the time of resection (a partial hepatectomy of the postero-inferior subsegment of the right lobe of the liver). Widespread lymphadenopathy resembling malignant lymphoma developed 2 months after surgery. A biopsy specimen from a supraclavicular lymph node revealed metastatic HCC. The patient died 2.5 months after the detection of the lymphadenopathy. Lymph node metastases can occur in small HCC less than 2 cm in diameter and may adversely affect the long-term prognosis of patients with these curatively resectable small HCC. |
