Goal

Q: Is the goal explicitly stated in the Introduction? Is its formulation clear and unambiguous?

Comments: Yes, the goal of the case report is explicitly stated in the Introduction. The goal is to describe a case of spontaneous regression of a poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and provide additional insights into the phenomenon. The formulation is clear and unambiguous, as it states the intention to present a specific case and contribute to the understanding of spontaneous regression in the context of HCC. The introduction effectively sets the stage for the case report by introducing the concept of spontaneous regression and its rarity, and then outlining the objective of the report.

Structure

Q: Is the paper's structure coherent? Is it in coherence with the goal of the paper?

Comments: The paper's structure is coherent and appropriately supports the goal of presenting the case and contributing insights to the understanding of spontaneous regression in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

Comments: Yes, the discussion and conclusion are related to the results presented in the case report. The discussion and conclusion are coherent with the results presented in the case report. They analyze, interpret, and summarize the findings, contributing to the overall understanding of the case of spontaneous regression of a poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.

Literature

Q: Does the author utilize relevant literature?

Comments: Yes, the author utilizes relevant literature to support the discussion and interpretation of the case report.

Length

Q: Is the length of the paper adequate to the significance of the topic? Do you suggest shortening the paper without losing its value?

Comments: The length of the paper seems appropriate for the case report and its significance. The paper is structured in a clear and concise manner, focusing on presenting the relevant clinical details, diagnostic procedures, results, and discussions surrounding the case of spontaneous regression of a poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Given the complexity of the topic and the need to provide comprehensive information about the case, the paper's length appears reasonable.

Writing style

Q: Is it clear and understandable?

A: Yes, the case report appears to be clear and understandable. The language used is technical and medical in nature, which is appropriate for the target audience of researchers and clinicians in the field of surgical oncology. The case presentation, diagnostic procedures, imaging findings, and histological descriptions are presented in a detailed yet coherent manner, allowing readers to follow the sequence of events and understand the clinical context.

The discussion section delves into potential mechanisms and causes of spontaneous regression in hepatocellular carcinoma, which might require some familiarity with the field to fully comprehend. However, the author provides explanations and connections to existing literature to help readers understand the reasoning and implications of the case findings.

The paper maintains a logical flow from introduction to conclusion, and the use of headings and subheadings assists in organizing the content. Overall, the paper seems to be written with clarity, allowing researchers and clinicians in the field to engage with the information and insights provided.

Further comments on the paper

Comments:
