摘要

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers associated with poor prognosis in eastern Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and China (1). Several imaging modalities and serologic tumor markers have been widely used for early diagnosis and therapeutic follow-up in the past decades. Mutual screening works efficiently at present among high-risk patients with chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, or a family history of HCC. However, HCC behaves in many diverse ways, which makes early diagnosis difficult and delays immediate therapeutic strategies for a better clinical outcome. On some rare occasions, discrepancy may exist among the time at which diagnosis is made based on the results of tumor markers, imaging modalities, and clinical presentation. This discrepancy could be readily overcome by meticulous surveillance within a limited period of time because of the rapid growth nature of HCC.We encountered an asymptomatic HCC patient who presented with progressively increased abnormal AFP and des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin (PIVKA-II) levels. Although all the advanced imaging modalities were thoroughly and repeatedly performed, the identification of primary HCC was far preceded not only by the initial elevation of the AFP level but also by the lymph node metastases (LM).
