A 60-year-old man presented with swelling, pain, and tenderness at the ulnar side of his left wrist. Imaging studies demonstrated an osseous lesion in the left hamate bone. Histopathology study of the lesion revealed that the lesion was an isolated osseous metastatic carcinoma. The metastasis was the first presentation of this occult malignancy. The patient was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy; however, he expired 20 months after the diagnosis. This is a level IV study.

Introduction Although metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is becoming more common in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is still unknown how this condition relates to postoperative complications of HCC. While hepatitis B/C virus (HBV/HCV) infection and alcohol use are primary risk factors, MAFLD has emerged as a significant contributor to HCC incidence. Understanding the prognostic impact of MAFLD on HCC outcomes, particularly post-radical resection, is essential.

Algorithms based on these features have estimated that up to 68% of recurrences might be new primaries. However, few studies have analyzed the clonal relationship between primary and secondary carcinomas to establish the true nature of recurrences.
