Abstract
[Extract] A 76-year-old male with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was on follow-up with the gastroenterology clinic for abnormal findings on liver imaging. His HBV infection had been diagnosed 8 years prior; he was currently on entecavir, and his HBV viral load had been suppressed for years. Six months prior, he was found to have a 1.7-cm lesion in the right lobe of the liver on routine surveillance ultrasound imaging. He was asymptomatic at the time.
