Abstract
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition in which abdominal and thoracic organs are transposed from normal positions. Two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) combined with translational therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with SIT has been rarely reported. We report a 41-year-old man with giant hepatocellular carcinoma (71 mm × 55 mm × 51 mm) whose future residual liver (FLR) and standard liver volume (SLV) ratio at first diagnosis was 37.4%. Preoperative volume assessment of portal vein ligation (PVL) revealed inadequate hypertrophy of FLR. After a multidisciplinary group discussion (MDT), the patient decided to follow conversion therapy. Three months later, ratio of the FLR/SLV increased from 37.4% to 71% after operation, which met the surgical requirements. Second hepatectomy, right lobectomy was successful. There was no recurrence after six months of follow-up. In our case, conversion therapy appears to be effective in maintaining residual liver hyperplasia, reducing tumor load, and preventing tumor progression in patients with large HCC during TSH.

J Interv Med 2022; 5:46-49. [PMID: 35586277 PMCID: PMC8947985 DOI: 10.1016/j.jimed.2021.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most commonly diagnosed carcinoma and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital condition where in the internal organs of the abdomen and thorax lie in mirror images of their normal position. Thus far, there are very few reports on cases of SIT coexisting with HCC. Our case series is probably the largest series in world literature. The cohort of this retrospective study included a total of nine patients diagnosed with SIT-HCC and treated in our hospital between January 2013 and May 2018. Clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and outcomes were summarized. Treatment strategies included surgery, transarterial chemoembolization, and microwave ablation. The diagnosis and treatment of patients with SIT are challenging because of organ reversion. The current treatment strategies for different stages of liver cancer are safe and feasible for patients with SIT-HCC.
