The liver stiffness value assessed by ARFI became lower over time in patients who had decreasing AST and ALT levels. According to this study, ARFI overestimates fibrosis grade in patients with high AST and ALT. Thus, assessment of liver fibrosis by ARFI elastography should include consideration of biochemical markers such as AST and ALT levels and additional follow-up using ARFI elastography.

Metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to the gallbladder (GB) through direct invasion is relatively common; on the other hand, isolated metastasis of HCC to the GB is extremely rare. We report here the radiologic finding of an isolated metastasis of HCC to the GB appearing as a polypoid mass in the GB lumen mimicking GB cancer in a patient treated for HCC.
