Abstract

The case of a 54 year old male with a well-differentiated liver cell carcinoma is presented. That the region of carcinoma was revealed on scanning utilizing rose bengal labeled with I¹³¹ as an area of normal to increased activity, contrasting with the liver background of decreased uptake due to fibrosis and degeneration, is felt to be a unique instance of function of an hepatic cell carcinoma.
