ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study aims to evaluate the recurrence pattern of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following liver transplantation. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 54 patients underwent liver transplantation for HCC; 9 patients developed biopsy-proven recurrent HCC (16.6%). The site of HCC recurrence along with other factors was analyzed.RESULTS:
Seven patients were diagnosed with HCC prior to liver transplantation and 2 patients had incidental HCC in the explanted liver. Two patients had locoregional recurrence, 4 patients had distant metastasis, and 3 patients had synchronous locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis.CONCLUSION:
A significant proportion of HCC recurrence following liver transplantation is extrahepatic.Palavras-chave
