Problem: To investigate the incremental value of abdominal adipose to identify postoperative early recurrence in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) areas were measured in the third lumbar vertebra plane of T1-weighted images. Results: HCC with microvascular invasion, portal invasion, and satellite nodules patients had lower VAT and SAT areas. VAT and SAT areas were important risk factors for early recurrence. Conclusions: Decreased VAT and SAT areas have significant impact regarding the postoperative early recurrence and poorer HCC biological behavior in HBV patients with HCC.
