Increased incidence of bone metastases in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: The increased incidence of bone metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma in the decade 1988-1997 is first attributed to the prolonged survival rate of hepatocellular carcinoma patients due to recent progress in both the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Dissemination of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to the vertebra through the portal vein-vertebral vein plexuses due to the presence of portal thrombus and/or portal hypertension may be related to a higher incidence of bone metastasis in hepatocellular carci… Show more

“…Fukutomi et al reported that 24 out of 29 lesions (83%) showed osteolysis with expansile soft tissue formation [5]. Kim et al reported 54% of HCC cases showed soft tissue formation [28], and our study showed 55% of HCC cases showed soft tissue formation on patient-based analysis.…”

“…La incidencia de metástasis esqueléticas es inferior y oscila, según las series, entre el 5-20% de los casos (4). En el CHC, el síndrome de compresión medular es una complicación excepcional de la enfermedad metastásica ósea.…”

“…Este hecho se encuentra en relación con una mejoría de la supervivencia del CHC, debido a evidentes progresos en el tratamiento local (resección quirúrgica, quimioembolización, infusión intraarterial de quimioterapia, ablación por radiofrecuencia) y en la detección precoz del tumor. Las metástasis se localizan más frecuentemente en costillas, columna vertebral, cráneo, fémur, húmero y pelvis (4,5). Son lesiones osteolíticas y tienen habitualmente un comportamiento agresivo, con frecuente desarrollo de masa hipervascularizada de partes blandas.…”
