Vena Cava Superior Syndrome Related to Right Heart Invasion of an Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Geert Maleux1, Werner Budts2, Vincent Vandecaveye1.   

Abstract

A rare case of hepatocellular tumor extension in the right heart was reported. The patient presented with clinical signs of a vena cava superior syndrome. Computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a large tumoral mass lesion extending from the left liver lobe into the inferior vena cava right atrium and right ventricle. The patient was treated with best supportive care.
