Hepatocellular carcinoma commonly metastasizes to organs, but there are few reports of vertebral metastases causing cord compression. Here, we present a case of thoracic cord compression in a patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Providers' and patient's awareness of this risk is important, as this is an oncological emergency.
肝细胞癌通常会转移至其他器官,但关于椎体转移导致脊髓受压的报道较少。在此,我们报告一例晚期肝细胞癌患者发生胸段脊髓受压的病例。由于这是一种肿瘤急症,提高医护人员和患者对这种风险的认识非常重要。
