A patient who underwent conversion surgery after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein thrombosis and perihepatic lymph node metastases achieved a pathological complete response.

Here, we present a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma complicated by tumor thrombosis into the main portal trunk and perihepatic lymph node metastases who was treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Shrinkage of the main tumor, portal vein thrombosis, and lymph node metastases were achieved; therefore, hepatectomy with lymphadenectomy could be performed. Final pathology indicated a complete pathological response in the main tumor, portal vein thrombosis, and perihepatic lymph nodes. The patient is currently alive with no evidence of recurrence on radiological assessment at 3 months after surgery.
