A clinically silent hepatocellular carcinoma presenting as a mixoma of the right atrium is described. Intra-atrial growth has been reported in advanced, clinically manifested cases of liver carcinomas in African and Japanese subjects, but very occasionally in Caucasian people. Our case further suggests that this occurrence should also be considered in Western Countries.
本文描述了一例表现为右心房混合瘤的临床无症状肝细胞癌。非洲和日本人群中晚期有临床表现的肝癌病例曾有过心房内生长的报道,但在白种人中极为罕见。我们的病例进一步表明,西方国家也应考虑到这种情况的发生。
