(A) A recurrent small HCC in zone A (arrowhead) was found in a 36-year-old male patient who underwent TACE treatment 8 months previously; no viable tumor was found in the 4-year postoperative CT scan image. (B) a recurrent small HCC in zone B (arrowhead) was found in a 61-year-old male patient who underwent hepatectomy 4 years previously; no viable tumor was found in the 2-year postoperative CT scan image. (C) a recurrent small HCC in zone C (arrowhead) was found in a 42-year-old female patient who underwent hepatectomy 1 year previously; no viable tumor was found in the 1-year postoperative CT scan image. (D) a recurrent small HCC in zone D (arrowhead) was found in a 52-year-old male patient who underwent TACE treatment 3 months previously; no viable tumor was found in the 6-month postoperative CT scan image.
