This report presents the case of a 68-year-old female patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who experienced persistently elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels following resection of the primary liver tumor. The patient had previously undergone transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and liver tumor resection, but postoperative AFP levels continued to rise, suggesting the possibility of extrahepatic metastasis. PET-CT scans revealed an irregular soft tissue mass in the recto-uterine pouch, which was later confirmed as a HCC metastasis through needle biopsy.

Background: Nonislet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare but serious complication of malignancy. Various causes of this type of hypoglycemia include excessive tumor burden resulting in destruction of the liver or adrenal glands, production of autoantibodies against insulin and tumoral production of incompletely processed IGF-2.
Objectives: Objective of this case report is to explore pathogenic mechanisms for hypoglycemia in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and evidence-based treatment options.

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare mesenchymal liver tumor within the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor family, known for its uncertain malignancy and potential for aggressive behavior. Clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and imaging results lack specificity, making pathological examination critical for definitive diagnosis. This case report presents a 61-year-old male patient with a single tumor in the right liver lobe, measuring approximately 101 mm × 99 mm.
