Comparison of survival outcomes of alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinoma with or without liver cirrhosis; a ten-year experience.

We evaluated overall survivals (OSs) of alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients without LC compared to those with LC.Between 2005 and 2015, 1343 patients were initially diagnosed as having HCC in our hospital. Of these, 186 alcohol-related HCC patients were enrolled in this study, and their medical records were retrospectively analyzed.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-associated hepatocellular carcinoma in a hepatitis B virus-endemic area.

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between 2005 and 2015 in a hepatitis B virus (HBV)-endemic area.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 1327 patients initially diagnosed with HCC at our institution between January 2005 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with other malignancies in addition to HCC were excluded.

Bullous pemphigoid associated with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in a hepatitis B virus endemic area: A case report.

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid is a type of acute or chronic autoimmune disease that involves subepidermal skin lesions with bulla formation. Although viral infections, such as, human herpes virus (HHV), human immunodeficiency virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, HHV-6, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV), are known factors of bullous pemphigoid, HCV infection has only been rarely associated factor, especially in HBV endemic area. A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to erythematous bulla of onset 3 months before presentation affecting his entire body.
