Solitary pulmonary metastasis arising thirteen years after liver transplantation for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma

我们描述了为复杂化肝炎 B (HBV ) 的肝细胞癌(HCC ) 在 1989 经历了肝移植的一个 59 岁的男病人肝硬化。在 2001 (在肝移植以后的 12 年) ，没有肝内复发，他开发了 HCC 的肺转移，切除术被做。在 2003 年 7 月，他是没有任何复发免费的症状。HCC 转移罐头甚至在肝移植的一很长的时间以后发展。许多 HCC 慢慢地成长，并且在收到抑制免疫力的治疗的病人的再发性瘤的生长率比不收到抑制免疫力的治疗的那些的显著地大。

We described a 59-year-old male patient who underwent liver transplantation in 1989 for hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） complicating hepatitis B virus （HBV） cirrhosis. In 2001 （12 years after liver transplantation）, he developed a lung metastasis of HCC without intrahepatic recurrence and the resection was done. In July 2003, he was symptom free without any recurrence. HCC metastasis can develop even after a very long time of liver transplantation. Many HCCs grow slowly, and the growth rate of recurrent tumors in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy is significantly greater than that of those who do not receive immunosuppressive therapy.
