We are reporting a case of a patient with a previous history of colorectal cancer (CRC) and cirrhosis, who developed concurrent liver lesions consistent with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); a case which is unique due to the low incidence of multiple cancers, particularly HCC in the setting of previous advanced colorectal carcinoma along, in a cirrhotic liver. We will review the known literature on multiple cancer rates found in patients with known colorectal carcinoma. We will then outline this particular patient's presentation, followed by a discussion as to why the particular concurrent development of HCC in the setting of previous CRC is of note.
我们报告了一例既往患有结直肠癌(CRC)和肝硬化的患者,其同时出现符合肝细胞癌(HCC)的肝脏病变;由于先前存在晚期结直肠癌,同时在肝硬化肝脏中,这种情况下同时发生多种癌症(特别是 HCC)的发生率较低,因此该病例较为独特。我们将回顾已知文献中关于已知结直肠癌患者的多种癌症发生率。然后,我们将概述该特定患者的临床表现,接着讨论为什么在先前的 CRC 背景下 HCC 的同时发生值得注意。
