Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. This case documents an unusual metastatic presentation of HCC in the humerus. Preoperative palliative arterial embolization of the tumor was performed to arrest severe tumor bleeding caused by the biopsy. Embolization turned out to be useful also in limiting/preventing potential uncontrolled bleeding during subsequent amputation.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是全球第五大常见癌症。本病例记录了一例罕见的HCC肱骨转移表现。对肿瘤进行了术前姑息性动脉栓塞,以止住活检引起的严重肿瘤出血。结果表明,栓塞在限制/预防后续截肢过程中潜在的失控性出血方面也很有用。
