Figure 1 Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of case 1. A-D: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver revealed a 65 mm × 55 mm lesion in the S7/8 lobe with multiple intrahepatic metastases in the arterial phase; E: Macroscopic findings of the tumor revealed the major lesion with satellite micronodules (with a diameter of 0.3-1 cm); F: Microscopic diagnosis revealed moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with negative surgical margins (magnification, 40 ×).
