Remote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence to Lumbar Spine Post Orthotopic Liver Transplantation-A Report of Two Cases and a Review of the Literature
Transplant Proc. 2024 Sep;56(7):1613-1616.doi:10.1016/j.transproceed.2024.08.017. Epub 2024 Aug 26.
Late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) is infrequently reported, and among cases, those isolated to the spine are rare. Prognoses are poor for this patient population, and no work has been undertaken to create uniform guidelines for management. Here, we report two cases of late recurrent HCC to the spine after OLT and favorable survival outcomes following intervention.
