This case report describes an unusual site of tumour thrombus in a re-canalised para-umbilical vein, in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis. The tumour thrombus was suspected on conventional radiography and confirmed using PET imaging, illustrating the complimentary value of structural and functional imaging in achieving the correct diagnosis.
本病例报告描述了一名肝细胞癌(HCC)合并肝硬化患者在再通的脐旁静脉中出现肿瘤血栓的罕见部位。肿瘤血栓在传统放射学检查中被怀疑,并通过PET成像得到证实,这说明了结构和功能成像在实现正确诊断方面的互补价值。
