Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PECOMA) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm which expresses both myogenic and melanocytic markers showing a benign course,although malignant tumors have also been reported. To date there are approximately 33 cases of published hepatic pecomas.
We describe a 47-year-old man with a 27-year past medical history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who underwent left liver lobectomy due to a liver pecoma. His postoperative course complicated with infection, thrombosis of hepatic artery and liver ischemia as well as drug fever.
Treatment protocol especially for hepatic PECOMA has not reached a consensus although surgical resection is the preferred therapy.
This is the first case of coexistence of liver pecoma and SLE.
血管周上皮样细胞肿瘤(PECOMA)是一种罕见的间叶性肿瘤,表达肌源性和黑素细胞标志物,通常呈良性病程,不过也有恶性肿瘤的报道。迄今为止,已发表的肝PECOMA病例约有33例。
我们描述了一名47岁男性,有27年系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)病史,因肝PECOMA接受了左肝叶切除术。他的术后病程出现了感染、肝动脉血栓形成、肝脏缺血以及药物热等并发症。
尽管手术切除是首选治疗方法,但对于肝PECOMA的治疗方案尚未达成共识。
这是首例肝PECOMA与SLE并存的病例。
