High level of alpha-fetoprotein is usually associated with testis cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma a primary tumor of the liver.
We report the case of a 72-year-old male patient with chronic renal failure who presented with a high alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level and a retroperitoneal mass, which was subsequently diagnosed to be an extrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
A retroperitoneal mass with elevated AFP level and no detected liver lesions is not always caused by a testicular cancer.
甲胎蛋白水平升高通常与睾丸癌或肝细胞癌(肝脏的原发性肿瘤)相关。
我们报告一例72岁男性慢性肾衰竭患者,其甲胎蛋白(AFP)水平升高且伴有腹膜后肿块,随后被诊断为肝外肝细胞癌。
AFP水平升高且未检测到肝脏病变的腹膜后肿块并非总是由睾丸癌引起。
