Hepatocellular carcinoma is a tumor that rarely invades the inferior vena cava and right heart. We describe the case of a 63-year-old man with jaundice and a history of cryptogenic hepatic cirrhosis with diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. He was referred to the echocardiography laboratory for sudden dyspnea and suggestion of pulmonary thromboembolism. Echocardiographic study reported a mass in the right atrium proceeding from the inferior vena cava.
肝细胞癌是一种很少侵犯下腔静脉和右心的肿瘤。我们描述了一例63岁男性病例,该患者有黄疸症状,有隐源性肝硬化病史,诊断为肝细胞癌。他因突发呼吸困难和疑似肺血栓栓塞被转诊至超声心动图实验室。超声心动图检查报告显示右心房有一个来自下腔静脉的肿块。
