Fig. 2A 53-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 2 years.
Baseline sonographic image shows focal hyperechoic lesion in right hepatic
lobe (arrow).
Fig. 2B 53-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 2 years.
Arterial phase image obtained at 13 sec shows homogeneous enhancement of
lesion.
Fig. 2C 53-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 2 years. Portal
venous phase image obtained at 42 sec. Lesion is hypoechoic with respect to
surrounding liver.
Fig. 2D 53-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 2 years. Lesion
was confirmed as moderately to poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma
by biopsy histopathology with 20-gauge automatic cutting needle (H and E,
x 200).
Fig. 3B 41-year-old woman with history of hepatitis B for past 10 years.
Arterial phase image obtained at 13 sec shows homogeneous enhancement of
lesion.
Fig. 3C 41-year-old woman with history of hepatitis B for past 10 years.
Late phase image obtained at 457 sec. The lesion shows washout; hypoechoic
with respect to surrounding liver (arrow).
Fig. 3D 41-year-old woman with history of hepatitis B for past 10 years.
Pathologic diagnosis of tissue punctured from lesion with 21-gauge manual
aspiration needle was well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (H and E,
x 200).
Fig. 4A 55-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 20 years.
Baseline sonographic image shows hypoechoic lesion with unclear border in
right lobe (arrow).
Fig. 4C 55-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 20 years. Late
phase image obtained at 133 sec. Lesion shows slight washout and is hypoechoic
with respect to surrounding liver (arrow).
Fig. 4D 55-year-old man with history of hepatitis B for past 20 years.
Pathologic diagnosis of tissue punctured from lesion with 21-gauge manual
aspiration needle was clear cell carcinoma (H and E, x 200).
