Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a well accepted treatment for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). While minor complications involve 10% of all patients, severe complications are rare.
We describe a case of a 90-year-old male with a large, superficial HCC who underwent TACE. He had a significant intraperitoneal bleed secondary to tumor rupture immediately following the procedure.
Tumor size and superficial location must be considered risk factors for tumor rupture and related complications.
经动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)是不可切除肝细胞癌(HCC)广泛接受的治疗方法。虽然10%的患者会出现轻微并发症,但严重并发症很少见。
我们描述了一名90岁男性,患有巨大浅表性HCC,接受了TACE治疗。术后他因肿瘤破裂继发严重的腹腔内出血。
肿瘤大小和浅表位置必须被视为肿瘤破裂及相关并发症的危险因素。
