Abstract
Whether the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in young patients is different from elderly patients is still controversial. Previous reports revealed that most of the young hepatocellular carcinoma patients have hepatitis B viral infection, larger tumor and more advanced stage than elderly patients, and these features not just young age are related with poor survival. We experienced a case of stage IVA hepatocellular carcinoma suspected to be related with autoimmune hepatitis in a 28-year-old man. Even though 3 times of transarterial chemoembolization and best supportive care were given, he died 7 months after diagnosis.
