Objective
To discuss the clinical characteristics, radiological characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with bile duct tumor thrombus (HCCBDTT), and to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment for it.
Methods
Clinical data of 2 cases of HCCBDTT admitted in March 2016 and July 2016 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively, and the related literatures were reviewed.
Results
Two cases of HCCBDTT were misdiag- nosed as hilar cholangiocarcinoma before operation, and then proved to be HCCBDTT after operation. The 2 cases were both alive during the follow-up period (20 months and 13 months respectively).
Conclusions
HCCBDTT patients should be comprehensively analyzed basing on the clinical data for diagnosis, and avoiding misdiagnosis. Active surgical treatment can effectively improve the quality of life in HCCBDTT patients, and prolong the survival time.
