Recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma presenting as thoracic lymphadenopathy

Recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma presenting as thoracic lymphadenopathy

Abstract Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can involve the lung parenchyma. However, predominant thoracic lymphadenopathy involvement is less described and there are multiple alternative malignant and non‐malignant causes of a similar appearance. Accurate tissue diagnosis is important to det...

Accurate tissue diagnosis is important to determine appropriate management and prognostication.
