Abstract:
Out of 79 consecutive cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) examined with computed tomography (CT), five patients revealed metastatic swollen abdominal lymph nodes. Involved were portal, retropancreatic, common hepatic, superior mesenteric, and paraaortic nodes. CT appeared to be an excellent modality in the diagnosis of metastatic abdominal lymph nodes of HCC.
