Abstract
|
|
|
Bone metastasis is not uncommon and shows poor survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We describe
a case of HCC presenting with rib metastasis in a 54-year-old man. In spite of radiotherapy for rib metastasis, pain was
sustained and size of lesions were increased. So we performd CT-guided percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT).
Whenever new metastatic bone lesions were detected, we have done PEIT. However, abdominal CT scan at 25th month after diagnosis shows residual viable tumors in pelvic bone and multiple metastatic nodules in both lung. He is alive by taking conservative management for 27 months after diagnosis.
