Fig. 6B. 59-year-old man with chronic type C viral hepatitis and moderately
differentiated 2.4-cm hepatocellular carcinoma showing weak vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, isointensity on in-phase
T1-weighted, subtle hyperintensity on T2-weighted, and moderate enhancement on
hepatic arterial dominant phase images. Child-Pugh grade was A. In-phase
T1-weighted spoiled gradient-recalled echo (GRE) (TR/TE, 150/4.2) axial image
shows no abnormal imaging findings for hepatocellular carcinoma. Opposed-phase
T1-weighted spoiled GRE (150/1.6) axial image (not shown here) shows
hepatocellular carcinoma as area of partly decreased signal intensity, which
was not seen in B, indicating that this tumor harbors internal fat.
