Intrahepatic bile duct recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma without a detectable liver tumor

摘要

INTRODUCTIONInvasion of the portal and hepatic veins by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common, but macroscopic bile duct invasion is rare. Once a tumor thrombus completely obstructs the main bile duct, it causes obstructive jaundice. This type of HCC, known as icteric-type HCC (IHCC), has a poor prognosis.
