  • Title: [Hepatocellular carcinoma and hyperestrogenia in a male].
    Author: Salles G, Vital Durand D, Mackiewicz R, Pugeat M, Levrat R.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 1987; 11(8-9):607-9. PubMed ID: 2820825.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 38 year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma in a non-cirrhotic liver is reported. Hyperestrogenosis with gynecomastia, polycythemia and proteinuria were present. After complete removal of the tumor, estrogen levels, red blood-cell volume and urine analysis did not return to normal and these pathologic findings were probably not paraneoplastic syndromes. Outcome was good, the patient remaining completely well without evidence of recurrence during the ensuing 30 months. The likely explanation for the persistent hyperestrogenosis was an excessive conversion of sexual hormones. The authors suggest that this abnormal hyperestrogenic state could promote hepatic neoplasia as it has been established in animals.
