    Summary

    This case study details a rare multilocular cystic hepatocellular carcinoma in a 42-year-old woman without cirrhosis. Transcatheter arterial embolization proved effective, achieving over 19 months of survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) typically occurs in patients with underlying liver cirrhosis.
    • Multilocular cystic HCC is a rare subtype with distinct imaging and pathological features.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old woman presented with three multicystic liver lesions.
    • The patient had no history of liver cirrhosis or other known risk factors for HCC.

    Findings:

    • The multicystic lesions were diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma.
    • Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was employed as a treatment modality.
    • TAE demonstrated significant effectiveness in managing the tumor burden.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of HCC in non-cirrhotic individuals.
    • Multilocular cystic HCC requires specific diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.
    • Transcatheter arterial embolization can be a viable and effective treatment option for this rare HCC variant, potentially improving patient survival.
