ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the outcomes of small (5 ~ 10mm),arterially enhancing nodules (SAENs)shown exclusively at the hepatic arterial phase of CT in a hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) surveillance population and to determine risk factors for developing HCC.Methods The study population included 112 patients (maleifemale =100 ∶ 12 ; aged 36 ~ 92 years) with 1 7 5 SAENs who were at risk of HCC.We evaluated serial changes during follow-up(1.4 ~41.8 months,mean 35.7 months) and analysed the initial CT findings of SAENs and the accompanying lesions to elucidate the risk factors for HCC development.Results Of 175 SAENs,101 (57.7%) disappeared and 34(19.4%) persisted.Forty SAENs(22.9%) became HCC in 33 patients(29.5%).Presence of HCC treatment history(P =0.005,risk ratio =7.429),a larger size of SAEN(P =0.003,risk ratio =1.630),presence of coexistent HCC(P =0.021,risk ratio =3.777) and absence of coexistent typical arterioportal shunts (P =0.003,risk ratio =4.459) turned out to be independently significant risk factors for future development of HCC.Conclusion SAENs are frequently seen in an HCC surveillance population and have a 22.9% probability of becoming HCC on a per-lesion basis.Risk increased particularly when the lesion is associated with a previous or concurrent HCC,a large size or found without a coexistent typical arterioportal shunt.
