ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is based on imaging studies particularly in high-risk patients without histologic confirmation. This study evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of false-positively diagnosed HCC in a liver resection cohort for HCC. A retrospective review was performed of 837 liver resection cases for clinically diagnosed HCC between 2005 and 2010 at our institute. High-risk patients with tumors > 1 cm with one or two image findings consistent with HCC and tumors 0.05) compared to non-HCC patients except for higher rate of history of alcoholism (P < 0.05) observed in non-HCC patients. Four of 18 non-HCC patients (22.2%) showed diagnostic discordance on the dynamic imaging study. Despite the recent progression in diagnostic imaging techniques, 2.2% of cases were false-positively diagnosed as HCC in a liver resection patient cohort; and the final diagnosis was benign disease in 0.8% of liver resection patients clinically diagnosed with HCC.
