Resection of a retrocaval paraganglioma is technically challenging due to limited tumor accessibility and proximity to the vena cava.
A large, malignant paraganglioma was found behind the retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava of a 60-year-old male. During resection of this rare paraganglioma, the left lateral lobe of the liver, a portion of the caudate lobe of the liver, and the gallbladder were also removed. Unfortunately, the patient died six months after surgery due to hepatic metastasis.
This case demonstrates that a partial hepatectomy may be necessary to improve tumor accessibility during resection of a retrocaval paraganglioma, particularly if the tumor is proximal to the vena cava. Furthermore, palliative treatments may help prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis of malignant paragangliomas.
由于肿瘤可及性有限且靠近腔静脉,腔静脉后副神经节瘤的切除在技术上具有挑战性。
在一名60岁男性的肝后段下腔静脉后方发现一个巨大的恶性副神经节瘤。在切除这个罕见的副神经节瘤过程中,还切除了肝脏左外叶、部分肝尾状叶和胆囊。不幸的是,患者术后六个月因肝转移死亡。
该病例表明,在切除腔静脉后副神经节瘤时,特别是当肿瘤靠近腔静脉时,可能需要进行部分肝切除术以改善肿瘤可及性。此外,姑息治疗可能有助于预防恶性副神经节瘤的肿瘤复发和转移。
