What is Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Indocyanine Green Excretory Defect: a Case Report and Review of the Literature about?

Constitutional indocyanine green (ICG) excretory defect is rare. However, ICG excretory defect concomitant with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is extremely rare, and only six reports of hepatectomy in patients with constitutional ICG excretory defect have been published in the English language literature through 2020. In this study, we report a case of combined HCC and ICG excretory defect and discuss its clinicopathological features and outcomes. The case featured a 68-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of resectable HCC. The preoperative ICG retention rate at 15 minutes was 82.9%. Despite this finding, the Child–Pugh assessment and hepatobiliary-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) did not reveal any abnormal findings. Therefore, we diagnosed the patient with constitutional ICG excretory defect and performed partial hepatectomy. For patients requiring hepatectomy, the indications and procedure for surgery should be considered. These should be based on liver function tests such as gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced MRI.
