A 70-year-old right-handed Japanese man who had undergone surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) 2 years earlier was diagnosed with lung metastasis 3 months before consulting our hospital with a headache and visual field disturbance. Head computed tomography revealed a brain tumor with an intracerebral hemorrhage. Using (99m)Tc-PMT (pyridoxal-5-methly-triptophan) scintigraphy, we determined that the brain tumor was metastasis from the HCC and utilized the cyber-knife for treatment. The prognosis of patients with brain metastasis from HCC has been reported to be poor. Use of the cyber-knife was non-invasive, and proved to be effective for improving prognosis and quality of life.
一名70岁右利手日本男性,2年前因肝细胞癌(HCC)接受了手术切除,在因头痛和视野障碍前来我院就诊的3个月前被诊断为肺转移。头部计算机断层扫描显示有一个伴有脑出血的脑肿瘤。通过使用(99m)Tc-PMT(吡哆醛-5-甲基色氨酸)闪烁扫描,我们确定该脑肿瘤为HCC转移瘤,并使用射波刀进行治疗。据报道,HCC脑转移患者的预后较差。射波刀的使用是非侵入性的,并且被证明对改善预后和生活质量有效。
