A Radiology-pathological Correlation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Retrospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: The study was conducted to understand the clinical algorithm of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Correlation was done by clinical presentation with radiological features and histopathology of HCC. The stress on to understand the necessity for a team approach between clinician, radiologist, and pathologist and vice versa is emphasized. Aim: To correlate histopathology of HCC with the radiological features. Materials and Methods: The total number of liver tumors studied during the 8 years period was 38 cases among which 25 cases were diagnosed by histopathology as various types of HCC conclusively. This is a retrospective study of liver tumors, diagnosed by histopathology as various types of HCC. All the relevant clinical data of the patients were searched from the ward records. The various radiological features were collected. Results: The total number of liver tumors studied during the 8 years period was 38 cases among which 25 cases were diagnosed by histopathology as various types of HCC conclusively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides molecular information with regard to HCC and potentially aided in biopsy planning. The total cases reported in the department are 25 cases out of which 17 cases are attending follow-up after 3 years. Conclusion: The Edmondson-Steiner grading system of HCC correlated the grading of HCC. Pre-operative radiological classification can be used as a supplement to the histopathological grading. HCC needs a correlation between radiologist, pathologist, and clinician. The total cases reported in the department are 25 cases out of which 17 cases are attending follow-up after 3 years.
