Hemothorax due to rupture of metastatic HCC, however, is a very rare complication with high mortality because of uncontrollable hemorrhage. We describe a 42-year-old male HCC patient with chest wall metastasis complicated by hemothorax with an unusual presentation of massive hemoptysis. He received tube thoracotomy immediately and emergency surgery because of persistent bleeding. Hemostasis was achieved transiently. Despite intensive care, he died of multiple organ failure on the 6th postoperative day. We conclude that hemothorax due to a ruptured HCC, as in this case, indicates a very poor prognosis despite intensive treatment. ©2006 Elsevier & Formosan Medical Association. |
