The incidence of microvascular invasion, satellite nodules, and advanced tumor grade significantly increased with tumor size. The 5\u2010year overall and recurrence\u2010free survival rates of HCC &lt;5\u00a0cm were 69.6 % and 32 %, respectively, which were significantly better than those of HCC between 5 and 10\u00a0cm (58 % and 26 %, respectively) and HCC &gt;10\u00a0cm (53 % and 24 %, respectively). On multivariate analysis, cirrhosis (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0307), Child\u2013Pugh B (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0159), indocyanine green retention rate at 15\u00a0min &gt;10 % (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0071), microvascular invasion (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001), and satellite nodules (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0009) were independent predictors of poor survival, whereas tumor size &gt;5\u00a0cm was not.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although recurrence rates are high, surgical resection for solitary HCC offers good overall survival.
