We report an asymptomatic 40-year-old woman with persistently deranged liver function tests found incidentally in the first trimester of her second pregnancy. No cause was apparent clinically, serologically or with imaging studies until a new finding of hepatomegaly led to a repeat ultrasound scan six weeks following delivery. A mass in the region of the common hepatic duct was confirmed to be a cholangiocarcinoma, with vascular invasion precluding curative surgical resection. This case highlights the need for close vigilance of patients with unexplained and persistently abnormal liver function tests, antenatally and postdelivery.
我们报告了一名40岁无症状女性,在其第二次怀孕的孕早期偶然发现肝功能检查持续异常。临床、血清学及影像学检查均未发现明显病因,直至产后六周肝脏肿大这一新发现导致再次进行超声扫描。肝总管区域的肿物被确诊为胆管癌,伴有血管侵犯,无法进行根治性手术切除。该病例凸显了对产前及产后肝功能检查原因不明且持续异常的患者进行密切监测的必要性。
