recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation and with
hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis in Child-Pugh class B. Contrast-enhanced
CT scans show 3-cm hepatocellular carcinoma (arrow, A) in
right hepatic lobe with right intrahepatic portal vein invasion
(arrowhead, B) managed with living-donor liver
transplantation.
