Extrahepatic recurrence with rapid progression after TACE+RFA for periportal HCC in a 61-year-old man. (A-B) DCE-MRI: hepatic arterial phase (A) and DWI (B) showing a small HCC (arrow) in the periportal location before TACE+RFA. (C-D) CT scan obtained during the portal venous phase 3 months after TACE+RFA showing the complete ablation zone (arrow) adjacent to the portal vein (arrowhead). (E) DWI scan obtained 6 months after TACE+RFA shows bone metastasis (arrow). (F) CT scan obtained 6 months after TACE+RFA showing thoracic wall metastases and multiple lung metastases (arrow). (G-I) CT scan obtained during the portal venous phase 12 months after TACE+RFA showing the complete ablation zone (arrow) adjacent to the portal vein accompanied by thoracic wall and lung metastases
