A 76-year-old HBV/HCV-cirrhotic female presenting with portal hypertension and ascites had been diagnosed with HCC on radiological imaging (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Stage A: Child–Pugh B8/Performance status: 1), but she was deemed unfit for surgery. She was, therefore, referred for EUS-guided sampling of hilar lymph nodes, in view of further management of a suspicious HCC in the fourth segment of her liver [Figure 1a-c]. Sampling of the hepatic nodule and the lymph nodes resulted in a diagnosis of well-differentiated HCC and reactive adenopathies [Figure 2].
