Abstract
Background : Early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an early stage HCC, and it is sometimes difficult to identify the margins of the cancer nodules in the resected specimens. Methods : We studied 22 cases of early HCC to investigate the clinicopathologic features of early stage HCC. Results : Seven of 22 cases were single HCC, and 15 were multicentric HCC. The average tumor size was 1.34 cm (0.4-2.7 cm). Early HCCs didn’t destroy the basic architecture of the liver lobules or pseudolobules and the lesions had an indistinct margin. Most tumors were uniformly composed of well-differentiated cancer tissue that was characterized by an increased cell density and an irregular thin-trabecular pattern. The tumor retained a varying number of portal tracts. There was a replacing growth pattern at the tumor-nontumor boundary without tumor capsule. Three of 22 cases had a “nodule-in-nodule” lesion, and the inner nodules consisted of moderately differentiated HCC without portal tracts. All 22 cases showed no vascular invasion. All 7 patients with single early HCC have survived for the past 11-54 months without any local recurrence. But in one patient with single early HCC, multicentric HCC developed 20 months after surgery. Conclusion : The clinicopathologic features of early HCCs are quite different from those of advanced HCCs. The increased recognition of early HCC during routine clinical practice will contribute to improved patient survival.
