[A case of cystadenocarcinoma of the liver complicated by gastric cancer--a review of 83 cases of primary cystic liver cancer in the literature].
So far as is known, this is the first reported case in the literature of a primary cystic liver cancer complicated with a gastric cancer. A 77-year-old female was admitted to hospital because of a swelling in the upper abdomen and appetite loss. CT scanning, an echogram, and an angiogram of the abdomen revealed a large cystic lesion which originated from the left lobe of the liver. A DIC indicated a gall stone, Further, upper GI fluoroscopy and endoscopy revealed a gastric cancer of the Borrmann II type, and thus a dome resection of the cyst, cholecystectomy, aad 3/4 partial gastrectomy was performed. The liver was found to contain much mucin. The histology indicated a cystadenocarcinoma of the liver, and an adenocarcinoma of the stomach of a poorly differentiated type.
