Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a rare liver cancer variant, can present as a mobile abdominal mass. This case report details successful surgical management of this unusual HCC presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary liver malignancy.
  • Pedunculated HCC, characterized by a stalk-like growth, represents a rare subtype.
  • Pre-imaging era diagnosis of pedunculated HCC was challenging due to atypical presentation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a mobile abdominal lump, an unusual sign for liver cancer.
  • The clinical presentation mimicked conditions other than a liver tumor.
  • Diagnostic difficulties were encountered due to the pedunculated nature of the tumor.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • Surgical intervention was identified as the primary treatment modality.

  • Successful resection of the pedunculated HCC was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare HCC variants in differential diagnosis.
    • Demonstrates the feasibility and success of surgical management for pedunculated HCC.
    • Underscores the value of surgical expertise in managing challenging abdominal masses.
