- Title
Parenchymal Extinction Mimicking Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Patient with Chronic Hepatitis B-Related Liver Cirrhosis.
- Authors
Kang, Min Kyu; Choi, Joon Hyuk
- Abstract
Parenchymal extinction is characterized by the irreversible loss of hepatocytes and their eventual replacement by fibrous tissue, along with the alteration of the sinusoidal architecture and the obstruction of the small portal and hepatic veins. In clinical practice, radiologic modalities are not sufficient for differentiating between parenchymal extinction and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. Herein, we present a case of parenchymal extinction mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with chronic hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis.
