A man in his forties was operated on for testicular cancer on the right-side with subsequent radiotherapy. Two years later, another tumor was found on the opposite side and surgically removed, followed by polychemotherapy. In the follow-up period, CT scanning and ultrasound showed large abdominal masses which were suspected to be metastases. Before initiating four cycles of chemotherapy, we checked their nature by Doppler sonography and found them to be recently developed abdominal varices due to an alcoholic liver cirrhosis. We were able to demonstrate that Doppler sonography can provide further information and is easy to use.
一名四十多岁的男性因右侧睾丸癌接受了手术，随后进行了放疗。两年后，在对侧发现了另一个肿瘤并通过手术切除，之后进行了多药化疗。在随访期间，CT扫描和超声检查显示腹部有巨大肿块，怀疑是转移瘤。在开始四个周期的化疗之前，我们通过多普勒超声检查确定了它们的性质，发现它们是由于酒精性肝硬化最近形成的腹部静脉曲张。我们能够证明多普勒超声检查可以提供更多信息且易于使用。
