Hepatocellular carcinoma usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, lung, and bones but can rarely invade the inferior vena cava with intravascular extension to the right atrium. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted for generalized oedema and was found to have advanced HCC with invasion of the inferior vena cava and endovascular extension to the right atrium. In contrast to the great majority of hepatocellular carcinoma, which usually develops on the basis of liver cirrhosis due to identifiable risk factors, none of those factors were present in our patient.

Tumor thrombus infiltration of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis due to the critical location of the tumor and the limited efficiency of the available treatment strategies. In this study, we report the case of a patient with advanced HCC and tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and right atrium who demonstrated complete response with mass retraction upon Yttrium-90 trans-arterial radioembolization (90Y- TARE) therapy. Throughout the 16 months follow-ups after the radioembolization, the patient was free of any complications, revealing no occurrence of radiation-induced pneumonitis or tumor recurrence.

AbstractThe presented report describes a case of a Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor thrombus (TT) infiltrating the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the right atrium (RA) in a 66-year old male patient who initially presented with TT related symptoms. CT-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) was performed for both, the intraparenchymal primary and the TT. A marked improvement of the tumor-related symptoms and shrinkage of the tumor mass were achieved six months after treatment initiation. The combination of intravascular and percutaneous HDRBT demonstrating a promising approach to palliate tumor-related symptoms in advanced HCC with macrovascular invasion.

The Brain

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary tumor of the liver and eighth-most common cancer. The most frequent sites of metastasis are the lungs, the bones, the lymphatics, and the brain. An isolated metastasis of a HCC to the right atrium and inferior vena cava (IVC) is extremely rare. Here we discuss a case of a 61-year-old female who presented with two weeks of generalized weakness and was found to have advanced stage HCC with metastasis to the IVC and right atrium of her heart. We recommend that echocardiography should be routinely performed for all patients with advanced HCC because if metastasis to the right atrium is not detected early enough, the clinical course will be complicated by many unexpected cardiovascular complications that can be fatal. Currently the prognosis for this disease is very poor so further investigation into surgical and medical treatments needs to occur.
