A case of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with troublesome hypoglycemia: management by cytoreduction using percutaneous ethanol injection
Abstract
Hypoglycemia is a well-known paraneoplastic manifestation of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, hypoglycemia as the first presentation is extremely uncommon. We herein report a case of HCC presenting with severe, uncontrollable hypoglycemia that was managed with percutaneous ethanol injection therapy.
