9 C SVR 23 Abstract A Case of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Ten Years after Successful Interferon Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis C. Minoru Kobayashi, Michihiro Suzuki, Norie Yamada, Masayo Yamaguchi, Hiroki Ikeda, Hideaki Takahashi, Yoshihiko Nagase, Yoshiki Katakura, Koutarou Matunaga, Toshiya Ishii, Nobuyuki Matsumoto, Chiaki Okuse, Satoshi Kitajima, Junki Koike 2 and Fumio Itoh A 63-year-old man was pointed out liver dysfunction on his medical check-up in 986. He was diagnosed as chronic hepatitis C in 990 on the basis of liver biopsy finding, which showed A F2 in November 993. He was treated with interferon, using 9MIU of interferon-alfa2a, 3 times a week for 24 weeks. He got sustained virological response and normalization of transaminase was observed after the treatment. In Februrary 995, liver biopsy was performed again, fibrosis was improved from F2 to F, and the inflammation had disappeared. In May 2004, a 20 mm liver tumor was noted in S8 on abdominal ultrasonography. He was admitted to our hospital in June of 2004 for further examination. Laboratory data showed elevated alpha-fetoprotein 3.5ng ml and lectin-reactive AFP 40. The tumor showed enhancement on CT arteriography, and defect on CT during arterial portography study. In MRI enhanced with super paramagnetic iron oxide, the lesion was detected with high intensity on T2 weighted image. These data led to the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma HCC and a biopsy was performed. Histological findings of the tumor lesion revealed a high cellularity and high ratio of N C with scattered fatty droplets. These findings strongly suggested a suspected well di#erentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor was treated with RFA. No recurrence has been found since then.
