ABSTRACT
Objective:
To discusse the clinical features of sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma to improve the understanding of diagnosis and treatment for sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:
Data including clinical features and follow-up from 8 pa-tients admitted in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2009 to April 2014 were retrospectively ana-lyzed.Results:
The average age of all patients was 56.6 years old, and the male-to-female ratio was 31. Preoperative CT or MRI showed specific characteristics but it was difficult to confirm diagnosis. Pathological and immunohistochemical examination revealed an expressed epithelial-like phenotype. All 8 patients had advanced local tumor invasion and high lymph node metastasis rates. These patients received surgery, and the median survival time was 10.8 months (3 months to 35 months).Conclusion:
Diagnosis of sarcoma-toid hepatocellular carcinoma mainly depended on postoperative pathological examination. Immunohistochemistry was beneficial for sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Surgical treatment prolonged survival time, but the overall prognosis remained poor.
