Abstract
The authors report the case of a cirrhotic patient with a multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma, Two nodules were located in the right liver lobe and a minute nodule was in the left lobe, Because of poor liver function, two injections of iodine-131-labeled Lipiodol were delivered in the right hepatic artery to protect the left lobe. The efficacy wa s obvious in the treated areas, but the minute lesion enlarged dramati cally and was responsible for the patient's death.
