Rupture of a metastatic liver tumor associated with laryngeal cancer is a very rare complication with no previous case in the literature. We present a case of ruptured liver metastases which was treated conservatively. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated active extravasation and discontinuity of liver capsule. When the patient came to our hospital from the external medical center, we did not see active extravasation on control computed tomography. This case highlights the role of radiologic imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of ruptured hepatic metastases.
喉癌相关的转移性肝肿瘤破裂是一种非常罕见的并发症,文献中此前尚无相关病例。我们报告一例肝转移瘤破裂并接受保守治疗的病例。动态对比增强计算机断层扫描显示肝脏有活动性外渗及肝包膜连续性中断。当患者从外部医疗中心转至我院时,在对照计算机断层扫描中未发现活动性外渗。该病例突出了放射影像学在肝转移瘤破裂诊断及随访中的作用。
