This article considers the case of a 58-year-old man with a history of type II diabetes, obesity and hypertension who presented with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and self-referred for a second opinion. He was diagnosed with unresectable HCC. The patient underwent radioembolization with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres, which substantially decreased the tumor mass. 1 year after initial diagnosis with HCC the patient underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). He remains negative for recurrence of HCC 2.5 years post-OLT.
