ABSTRACT
Hepatoma is one of the most common malignant disease among cancers that occur in Korea. Recently, according ta developing imaging diagnostic technology and non surgical treatment the hepatoma is easily detected in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. From this point of view, the histologic pattern of hepatoma is markedly important. This is the first reported case of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma, which is characterized by intense fibrosis, in which the tubular neoplastic structures are embedded. The incidence of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma is very rare. Therefore the rare histologic pattern of hepatoma might be introduced by many studies and reports. We recently experienced a case of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma.

We studied the left ventricular function with the use of M-mode and 2-D Echocardiography to 32 patients with congestive heart failure before and 2 weeks after medication of prazosin 2 mg tid during July 1979 and Dec. 1980 in Heart Center, Paik Hospital, In-Je Medical College, Busan, Korea. The results were following; 1) LVDeD before and after vasodilaor therapy was each 5.64+/-0.76 and 5.04+/-0.57.cm, LVSeD before and after therapy each 4.52+/-0.51 and 3.70+/-0.57cm, and F.S. before and after therapy 19.87+/-3.66 and 26.59+/-6.75%. The difference of LVSeD, LVDeD and F.S. was each statistically significant. 2) LVDeV before and after therapy was each 182.2+/-58.07 and 132.80+/-47.01 ml LVSeV before and after therapy each 92.35+/-23.60 and 50.65+/-27.21ml, and E.F. before and after therapy each 49.31+/-7.07 and 61.86+/-11.74%. The difference of LVDeV, LVSeV and E.F. was each statisitically significant. 3) LVPWTh before and after therapy was each 0.89+/-0.11 and 0.77+/-0.08cm, and Vcf before and after therapy 0.83+/-0.11 and 1.03+/-0.27 cir./sec. The difference of LVPWTh and vcf before and after therapy was each statistically significant. 4) The difference of VSTh, RVD, LAD, and Aorta Dimension before and after therapy was each statisitically significant.
