Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma 102 months after successful eradication and removal of membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava.

Abstract:

:We report a 54-year-old Japanese woman who developed liver tumors 102 months after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava (MOVC), which is one form of Budd-Chiari syndrome. In the present admission workup showed no evidence of co-infection with hepatitis B and C viruses. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging showed an enhanced lesion, 1.5 cm in diameter, in segment 3 of the liver, and no obstruction of the inferior vena cava after PTA. CT during both arterial portography and hepatic arteriography revealed another lesion, showing different hemodynamics, in segment 2. The patient therefore underwent hepatic resection, and the tumors were diagnosed histologically as HCC. The two tumors differed in their morphological features, one containing abundant fibrous stroma, whereas the other did not. The nontumorous liver tissue showed central zonal fibrosis, i.e., reversed lobulation, and partial expansion of nodule-like formations, indicating lack of progression since the situation seen at the initial hepatectomy. The presence of nontumorous liver tissue showing the above features suggests that, even after successful treatment for relief of congestion, patients who have had MOVC should be followed closely for as long as possible because of the risk of HCC recurrence. This is the first reported case of HCC recurrence after successful treatment of MOVC.
