Sonographic characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions

ABSTRACT

144 HCC patients diagnosed histopathologically/cytologically with fine needle aspiration under sonographic leading were studied ultrasonically. 52.08% of patients had 1 lesion, 44.45% had more 2 lesions and only 3.47% had dispersive lesions. Of 75 cases with 1 lesion, 21 had under 5cm lesion, 42 from 5 to 10cm and 12 above 10cm. The relation between dimention of the lesion and its ultrasonic echo-pattern was investigated
