Woman 58yo, history of  infected  HBV  and diabetes. One week ago  she was very  painful  in  liver region.
Chest x-ray showed elevated  right diaphragm ( see Xray chest film).


Ultrasound  reported that  no pleural effusion..but  liver  had  many tumors with  portal vein thrombosis  completly..( us1, us 2, us 3, us4 and video).







Blood tests = HBsAg  positive  with  AFP = 9.3 ng/mL.




Blood tests  again  with   HCC risk  on Wako machine resulted  very high  level of DCP, this test made thinking  portal vein  thrombosis  by HCC.


Discussion : History of  infected  chronic HBV,  and normal..AFP,  but  ultrasound suggested   VP THROMBOSIS due to HCC  that based on  WAKO  compiling  3 tests  AFP, AFP-L3%, DCP which confirmed  HCC.
