Endobronchial metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma - a case description with literature review

Anna Szumera-Ciećkiewicz et al. Int J Clin Exp Pathol. .

Abstract

Endobronchial metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma are very rare. Up to date, no more than 7 cases were reported. The authors present a case of 20-year old female with metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to superior lobar bronchus. Examination of cytological and small biopsy specimens obtained from bronchoscopy revealed characteristic microscopic features and immunohistochemical profile of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Keywords: Hepatocellular carcinoma; cytology; endobronchial carcinoma; fine-needle aspiration cytology.
