Figure 1 Abdominal computed tomography scan of the patient. A: Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showing the diffuse HCC which occupied whole left lobe and several new lesions within diameter 1 cm in right liver before the treatment with sorafenib. Triangle indicates the HCC lesion; B: Abdominal CT scan at the onset of acute cholecystitis during the treatment with sorafenib. The CT revealed the gallbladder swelling with exudate associated with severe inflammation without stones or debris (arrowheads); C: Follow-up abdominal CT scan at 5 d after treatment of acute cholecystitis. Gallbladder swelling was markedly improved with reduced ascites exudate (arrowheads).
