The Abernethy malformation is a rare anomaly with a widely variable clinical presentation. Many diagnostic dilemmas have been reported. Nowadays, with the evolution of medical imaging, diagnosis can be made more easily, but management of patients with an Abernethy malformation is still open for discussion.
In this case study, we describe a 34-year-old Caucasian man who presented with a large hepatocellular carcinoma in the presence of an Abernethy malformation, which was complicated by the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
This case underlines the importance of regular examination of patients with an Abernethy malformation, even in older patients, to prevent complications and to detect liver lesions at an early stage.
阿伯内西畸形是一种罕见的异常情况,临床表现差异很大。已有许多诊断难题的报道。如今,随着医学影像学的发展,诊断变得更容易,但阿伯内西畸形患者的治疗仍有待讨论。
在本病例研究中,我们描述了一名34岁的白种男性,他在患有阿伯内西畸形的情况下出现了巨大肝细胞癌,并伴有肺动脉高压的并发症。
该病例强调了对阿伯内西畸形患者进行定期检查的重要性,即使是老年患者,以预防并发症并早期发现肝脏病变。
