Bone metastasis: First manifestation of a hepatoma

Metástasis ósea: Primera manifestación de un hepatoma

Davidenko, Nicolás - Casanova, Marys - Silva García, Ernesto - De Los Santos, Julio

Resumen:

In a case of hepatoma, the patient's first symptom was the presence of a voluminous costal tumor and biopsy showed that it was metastatic. Complementary tests indicated a hypervascular hepatoma with associated segmentary portal vein thrombosis, located in a parenchyma which seemed laparoscopically normal. Biopsy of primary tumor showed its histoarchitecture to be similar to that of metastases.A study of bibliography shows its raré occurrence and, when diagnosed, rapidly fatal evolution.


Aportamos una observación de hepatoma cuyo primer síntoma fue la presencia de un voluminosotumor costal, siendo la biopsia la que demostró su carácter metastático. Los exámenes complementarios mostraron la existencia de un hepatoma hipervascularizado con trombosis venosa portal segmentaria asociada, asentando en un parénquima que laparoscópicrumente impresionó como normal. La biopsia del tumor primario mostró una histoarquitectura similar a la metástasis.Analizando la bibliografía sobre el tema se destaca la rareza de esta eventualidad y la evolución rápidamente fatal cuando se le diagnostica.
