Unusual paired HCC recurrence in the biliary system after liver resection and endoscopic sphincterotomy

AbstractVarious patterns of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence have been reported after surgery, including metastasis to the remnant liver and portal vein tumor thrombosis [1]. Yang et al. reported that, among tumor recurrence following complete resection of 75 HCCs with macro/microscopic bile duct invasion, 53 cases (70.7%) had a recurrence in the bile ducts [2]. We treated by surgery an unusual case of HCC metastasis to both the extrahepatic bile duct and papilla of Vater.
