A Case of Subcutaneous Seeding of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

چکیده
Cancer spread along the needle track following fine needle aspiration biopsy is said to be a rare complication. The authors report a case of subcutaneous implantation of hepatocellular carcinoma following ultrasono-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy. The patient, a 67-year-old Korean male was found to have a large hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Four months later, the patient felt two subcutaneous growing lumps at the previous aspiration site. The authors confirmed them histologically 11 months after aspiration.

متن کاملNeedle track seeding after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: prevalence, impact, and management challenge
Neoplastic seeding may arise after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A low risk of seeding after RFA (0-1.1%) has been reported, which may rise up to 2.5% if ablation followed diagnostic biopsy. Needle track seeding presents with one or multiple rounded nodules along the needle track located within the peritoneum, along the abdominal muscles, which were penetrate...

This retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of 244 sonographically guided fine- needle aspiration biopsy in 226 patients with ultrasonographically suspected hepatic malignant lesions. A final diagnosis of malignancy was established in 166 cases (73%) (145 hepatocellular carcinoma, 21 metastasis); benign lesions were aspirated in 60 cases (27%). The diagnostic s...

Background—Percutaneous ultrasound guided needle aspiration biopsy is an eYcient procedure for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, this procedure may be responsible for metastatic seeding in the needle tract. We present a case of metastatic subcutaneous seeding after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for cirrhosis complicated by HCC. Case report—A 29 year old man with...
