Clinicopathological features of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of small size, not larger than 5.0 cm in diameter, were studied in 11 patients with underlying cirrhosis. The presence of tumor was detected and confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) during periodic imaging re-examinations of cirrhotic patients. The HCCs grew slowly up to a certain stage and formed satellite tumors that could not be visualized on CT image. Therefore, infusion hepatic angiography and/or transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) are essential before undertaking a major operation.
对11例合并肝硬化的患者进行了研究，这些患者患有直径不超过5.0厘米的小肝癌（HCC）的临床病理特征。在对肝硬化患者进行定期影像学复查期间，通过计算机断层扫描（CT）和超声检查（US）检测并确认了肿瘤的存在。小肝癌在达到一定阶段之前生长缓慢，并形成了在CT图像上无法显示的卫星肿瘤。因此，在进行大手术之前，肝动脉灌注造影和/或经导管动脉栓塞术（TAE）至关重要。
