Abstract EN
Peritoneal implantation from hepatocellular carcinoma has been rarely reported.
It may occur at various sites.
Here we present a surgically resected case of peritoneal implantation to the diaphragm from hepatocellular carcinoma.
A 50-year-old woman underwent right hemihepatectomy extended to a medial part of Couinaud segment IV for hepatocellular carcinoma in May 2000.
In December 2008, the elevation of alpha-phetoprotein and the appearance of a heterogeneously enhanced mass, with dimensions of 9×7 cm, and adjacent to the remnant liver and pericardium suggested intrahepatic recurrence with markedly enhanced growth.
After transcatheter arterial embolization, surgical resection under laparotomy combined with median sternotomy was selected.
Samples of pericardial fluid showed no malignancy after cytological examination.
At the superior border of the tumor, the confluence of pericardium and diaphragm was displaced, but the tumor itself showed a generally expanding but not invasive growth.
The resected tumor showed moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma whose pathology revealed a peritoneal implantation to the diaphragm.
The patient is in good health without any postoperative complications or any further sign of recurrence.
