  • Title: [Haemoperitoneum due to ruptured hepatoma in a cirrhotic patient with porphyria cutanea tarda. Three years' survival (author's transl)].
    Author: Combe J, Daoudal P, Bald P, Barale F, Milleret P.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1982 May; 119(5):345-9. PubMed ID: 6286697.
    Abstract:
    A case of ruptured hepatocarcinoma of the left lobe in a cirrhotic patient with a 7 years' history of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is reported. Emergency left lobectomy resulted in 3 years' survival with no sign of recurrence at present. Comments are made concerning the clinical association PCT-hepatoma: (1) either PCT is associated with a hypersecretory hepatoma and behaves as a neoplastic syndrome following the same course as the tumour; (2) or PCT is associated with a cirrhosis (usually alcoholic) which facilitates the development of a hepatoma. In such cases, PCT precedes the tumour and follows a separate course.
