Abstract: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) presents a diagnostic challenge due to its wide range of possible causes, necessitating comprehensive evaluation.This case report describes the complexities in a 77-year-old male admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with persistent fever.Despite thorough investigations and treatment for identified infections, the fever persisted, leading to an uncommon and challenging diagnostic journey.Further evaluation revealed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with unusual presentations, highlighting the complexities of fever management in oncology settings.This case underscores the need for heightened awareness of malignancy-associated FUO and calls for further exploration into atypical manifestations, offering insights into early diagnosis and management strategies.
