Case Report: Non-Cirrhotic Hepatoma BCLC-C With Vertebrae Metastasis

Abstract

  Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can arise from either cirrhosis or non-cirrhosis of the liver. HCC in non-cirrhotic livers is still uncommon and can present insidiously in patients. HCC may develop in people with non-cirrhotic chronic liver illness, such as chronic hepatitis B virus infection and chronic HCV infection. More than half of non-cirrhotic individuals with HCC may not exhibit any symptoms, and the disease is frequently detected when it is advanced and incurable. Case Report: Here we presented a 47-year-old man went to the emergency room complaining of upper right side abdominal discomfort that suddenly arose and spread to the back and right shoulder. He also experiencing upper right abdominal fullness for the past two months, along with a sense of a lump growing larger and harder. Hepatic stigmata were not discovered, whole blood revealed a thrombocytosis and significant rising AFP from the expected result of 71,000 ng/dL, with hepatitis B testing was positive. Abdominal ultrasound revealed hepatomegaly and several hypo-hyperechoic nodules. CT scan revealed multiple solid lesions and lytic lesions of the vertebrae bodies. The patient recieved palliative treatment.. Conclusion: This case study demonstrates a non-cirrhotic hepatoma that came at an80 tan advanced stage and was more likely to be asymptomatic than a cirrhotic hepatoma that showed signs of liver failure, such as hepatic stigmata and other physiologic abnormalities. This case report demonstrates the This case study demonstrates the importance of strengthening general HHC preventative measures in order to lower non-cirrhotic HHC's incidence and fatality rate.
