| Core Tip |
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy is caused by tumor thrombi in the arteries and thickening of the pulmonary arterial endothelium leading to the symptoms of dyspnea in terminal staged patients. Therefore, supportive management of symptoms is necessary in the cases with pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy, however, as the hepatic failure, bleeding, and encephalopathy have been focused in these cases with hepatocellular carcinoma and it is rare condition in the cases with hepatocellular carcinoma, only few cases have been reported. Therefore, we have reported the minute clinical and pathological information of our recent case and reviewed literatures of reported cases to date in this paper. |
