Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 66-year-old man presented with an epigastric tumor demonstrated by both ultrasonography and computed tomography as hepatocellular carcinoma. He referred himself to a specialist at another hospital who performed transarterial embolization (TAE) of the hepatic artery. But the serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) concentration gradually rose after the procedure. A right adrenal metastasis was discovered by computed tomography 9 months after his presentation, 8 months after first embolization. When TAE was performed for this metastasis, there was transverse palsy of the lower limb secondary to spinal artery embolization. He returned to our hospital where a right adrenectomy was performed 14 months after his first presentation. The operation was successful and he was discharged 6 weeks later. But he was readmitted in 8 months with an elevated serum AFP concentration and died within 2 weeks. The details of this case are presented, and the indications for resection of adrenal metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma are discussed. |
