A 57 year-old male docter was found to have a large abdominal tumor in the right upper quadrant. 198Au colloid liver scintigram revealed multiple defects scattered in the right lobe. Serum A.F.P. was 23ng/ml. Two years later an exploratory laparotomy was performed. Tumors were sharply circumscribed and separated from the hepatic parenchyma by tight fibrous capsule. Microscopically, the tumor was well differenciated type of hepatocellular carcinoma-Edomondson's grade I. Such cases of hepatocellular carcinoma which had long-term survival more than 2 years were reviewed, and discussed about the term of "slow growing hepatoma."
