Seeding of tumour in the needle track following percutaneous needle biopsy of liver neoplasms is rarely reported. We describe two such cases following the needle biopsy of an hepatocellular carcinoma and secondary colorectal carcinoma respectively. The risk of needle track recurrence of liver tumours should not be regarded as insignificant. The diagnosis of liver neoplasms may be achieved by non-invasive modalities, and their needle biopsy should be reserved for cases not amenable to surgical resection.
经皮肝肿瘤穿刺活检后针道种植肿瘤的情况鲜有报道。我们分别描述了两例肝细胞癌和继发性结直肠癌穿刺活检后的此类病例。肝肿瘤针道复发的风险不应被视为微不足道。肝肿瘤的诊断可通过非侵入性方法实现,其穿刺活检应仅用于不适宜手术切除的病例。
