Solitary muscle metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is extremely rare, and late metastasis is also rare. We present a 59-year-old man who had received initial treatment for HCC 13 years previously. Ultrasonography revealed a tumor between the abdominal wall and the liver surface. Tumor resection was performed with suspected intrahepatic metastasis or abdominal wall metastasis of HCC, and the tumor was found to be within the rectus abdominis without an association with the liver. Histologically, the resected material was confirmed to be a muscle metastasis of HCC. We discuss the management of muscle metastasis of HCC.
肝细胞癌(HCC)的孤立性肌肉转移极为罕见,晚期转移也很罕见。我们报告一名59岁男性,他在13年前曾接受过HCC的初始治疗。超声检查发现腹壁与肝表面之间有一个肿瘤。对疑似HCC肝内转移或腹壁转移的患者进行了肿瘤切除术,发现肿瘤位于腹直肌内,与肝脏无关。组织学检查证实切除的组织为HCC的肌肉转移。我们讨论了HCC肌肉转移的治疗方法。
