Background Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are heterogeneous neoplasms, and the prognosis varies based on the subtype. Two broad molecular classes of HCC have been proposed: a proliferative and a nonproliferative class. Purpose To evaluate the gadoxetate-enhanced MRI findings of the proliferative class HCC and its prognostic significance after surgery. Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study evaluated patients with surgically resected treatment-naive single HCC (≤5 cm) who underwent hepatic resection from January 2010 through February 2013 and preoperative gadoxetate-enhanced MRI. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine the predictive factors for overall survival (OS), intrahepatic distant recurrence, and extrahepatic metastasis (EM). The mean follow-up period was 75.5 months ± 30.2 (standard deviation). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with proliferative class HCC. Results A total of 158 patients (mean age, 57 years ± 11; 128 men and 30 women) were evaluated. Forty-two of the 158 HCCs (26.6%) were proliferative class HCCs (17 macrotrabecular-massive HCCs, 14 keratin 19-positive HCCs, 10 scirrhous HCCs, and one sarcomatoid HCC). The proliferative class was associated with worse OS (hazard ratio [HR], 3.1; 95% CI: 1.5, 6.0; P = .01) and higher rates of intrahepatic distant recurrence (HR, 1.83; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.9; P = .01) and EM (HR, 9.97; 95% CI: 3.2, 31.4; P < .001). Rim arterial phase hyperenhancement (APHE) at gadoxetate-enhanced MRI (odds ratio [OR], 6.35; 95% CI: 1.9, 21.7; P = .01) and high serum α-fetoprotein (>100 ng/mL) (OR, 4.18; 95% CI: 1.64, 10.7; P = .01) were independent predictors for proliferative HCC. The presence of rim APHE was associated with poor OS (HR, 2.4; 95% CI: 1.2, 4.9; P = .02) and higher rates of EM (HR, 7.4; 95% CI: 2.5, 21.7; P < .01). Conclusion The proliferative class of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an independent factor for poor overall survival with increased rates of intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis. Rim arterial phase hyperenhancement at gadoxetate-enhanced MRI may help to identify proliferative class HCC and predict poor overall survival and an increased incidence of extrahepatic metastasis. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
