Abstract
Cirrhosis is a common diagnosis that clinicians will see throughout their career. We encountered a 36-year-old man who presented to the hospital about concerns of alcohol withdrawal. In the hospital, he was initially diagnosed with cirrhosis via imaging studies, and a subsequent magnetic resonance imaging scan uncovered hepatocellular carcinoma. This patient case underscores the importance of screening individuals with cirrhosis for hepatocellular carcinoma, even early in their diagnosis.
