Abstract:
We encountered a case of far advanced hepatomas involving the lungs and portal veins. The patient was a 38-year-old woman. Chemoembolization had transient effects. Cachexia occurred. After repeated episodes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, she died. An autopsy revealed a deep gastric ulcer to which a nodule of the hepatocellular carcinoma adhered. Histopathologically, the infiltration of the hepatoma was not evident. These findings suggested that circulatory distarbances of the gastric wall due to the adhesion of the growing hematoma had caused the ulceration.
