RESUMO
The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is usually centered around cross-sectional imaging (CSI) modalities. However, in some instances focal hepatic lesions may be missed on CSI. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has an evolving role in hepatology and have been shown to be useful in diagnosing focal lesions with advantages of tissue acquisition. We report a case hepatitis B-related cirrhosis presenting with acute decompensation, wherein EUS was used to identify HCC and perform tissue acquisition as CSI was non-diagnostic.
