Title:Giant pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma with hemangioma mimicking
intestinal obstruction: A rare case
Version: 1Date:28 May 2011
Reviewer: Hiroko Kuwabara
Reviewer's report:
The authors describe a P-HCC combined with a cavernous hemangioma with
features of intestinal obstruction.
Major Compulsory Revisions
1.The proportion of HCC areas to hemangioma ones within the tumor should be
presented, and a figure including both histological areas is needed.
2.CT and MRI didn't show any HCC findings?
3.What kind of tumors are combined with p-HCC in previous reports? This should
be discussed.
4.The patient was followed up for hemochromatosis. The histological statement
of non-cancer lesion should be presented. Are cirrhosis and iron deposition
present?
Minor Revisions
1.HBV and HCV related tests in the serum should be presented.
2.The position of Figure 4 in the Case Presentation is not correct.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
