肝内胆管细胞癌(Intrahepatic Cholangio Carcinoma, ICC)是指发生在包括二级胆管在内的末梢侧胆管上皮细胞恶性肿瘤。外科手术是对ICC患者可能治愈的手段之一,但是否行淋巴结清扫尚存在争议。针对可切除的肝内胆管癌,我们团队常规进行肝门部淋巴结清扫术。在保证患者围手术期安全性的前提下尽可能的使患者获益。我们收治了1例罕见的肝内胆管细胞癌合并肝门巨大淋巴结转移的病例,其特点为肝内病灶大小仅5 × 3.5 × 3 cm,而肝门部却形成多个淋巴结转移癌融合成巨大肿块体积达到9.5 × 5 × 4.5 cm。现对此病例诊疗过程报告并对其手术风险、预后生存期讨论分析如下。
患者男性,59岁,主诉“右上腹疼痛1月”于2020年9月5日入院,患者近1月以来反复出现右上腹疼痛,无恶心、呕吐,无畏寒发热,无皮肤巩膜黄染,无腹痛腹泻,无呕血黑便等,既往高血压病史1年,无肝炎肝硬化及血吸虫病史,家族中无遗传病及肿瘤病史。入院时患者精神状态良好,食欲体力正常,大小便正常,睡眠好,体重无明显变化。体格检查:生命体征平稳,皮肤巩膜无黄染,腹部柔软、全腹无压痛、反跳痛,未触及包块。无移动性浊音,肠鸣音正常。
实验室检查:肿瘤指标CEA:0.74 μg/L (正常参考值:0~5.0),AFP:3.21 μg/L (正常参考值:0~20),CA19-9:6.96 U/mL (正常参考值:0.1~37),其余血常规、凝血功能、肝肾功能未见异常。
入院前影像学检查外院MRI (2020-08-03)提示:肝右叶肿瘤,考虑恶性,肝门部淋巴结转移。我院超声引导下肝脏肿瘤穿刺活检术病理(2020-08-19)提示:低分化胆管细胞癌。术前影像:我院MRI (2020-09-10)肝右叶恶性肿瘤,肝门部巨大淋巴结转移(详见图1)。

患者明确诊断为:肝右叶肝内胆管细胞癌伴肝门部巨大淋巴结转移。术前胸片、心电图未见明显手术禁忌。2020年9月14日行肝右叶肿瘤切除、肝门部淋巴结清扫术。手术时长:315分钟,出血500 ml,未输血。手术过程顺利,但异常困难,转移的淋巴结巨大且部位特殊,操作受限。具体操作过程见图2~图4。

图4. 游离门脉右前支(RAP),给予阻断,见肝脏右前叶缺血线充分游离肝周韧带,距肿瘤边缘约3 cm设置切除线,完整切除肿瘤。肝内肿瘤大小5 × 4 × 3 cm
术后病理提示:肝右叶中–低分化胆管细胞癌,肿瘤大小约5 × 3.5 × 3 cm,切缘未见癌(图5),伴(8、12、13组淋巴结)转移癌并融合肿块,大小约9.5 × 5 × 4.5 cm (图6)。免疫组化结果:Heptocyte (−),GPC-3 (−),Arg-1 (灶状+),CK7 (−),Ki67 (+50~75%),CK19 (−)。

患者术后8天拔除全部腹腔引流管出院,围手术期恢复顺利,无任何手术并发症。术后随访:2020-11-14我院复查MRI:未见明确新生病灶,化验无异常指标。随访至今患者一般情况良好,未发现转移复发。
肝内胆管细胞癌(Intrahepatic Cholangio Carcinoma, ICC)是指发生在包括二级胆管在内的末梢侧胆管上皮细胞恶性肿瘤,其发病率继肝细胞癌之后,居原发性肝脏肿瘤的第2位,占其中的10%~15% [
目前外科干预仍然是ICC患者惟一可能治愈的手段,但在肝内胆管癌的研究中,是否行淋巴结清扫尚存在争议。Omar Hyder等人通过汇集了从1990年5月至2011年12月多中心514病例研究美国、欧洲、亚洲等13个肝胆胰中心的表明肝内胆管细胞癌的是否发生淋巴结转移为影响预后的危险因素之一 [
但是一篇汇集2000年1月至2018年1月共计1377例行肝内胆管细胞患者是否行淋巴结清扫的meta-分析研究表明 [
针对于上述研究差异,我们团队认为可能与不同肝胆外科手术医生的淋巴结清扫的程度以及要求不同相关,致使在Meta分析中存在较大的异质性。所以目前AJCC指南建议肝内胆管细胞癌的淋巴结清扫获取淋巴结应至少大于6个 [
在行淋巴结清扫手术时,因肝门部解剖结构多而复杂,且常有变异,致使存在意外损伤胆管、血管风险。同时当肿瘤或转移淋巴结压迫或侵犯门静脉,肝动脉时,尤其是当需要门静脉重建,肝动脉外鞘剥离甚至重建时,手术难度较大,致使术后出现并发症率风险增高。本病例特点为肝门部(8、12、13组淋巴结)转移癌并融合肿块,大小约9.5 × 5 × 4.5 cm,位于肝十二指肠韧带内管道结构间隙之间,重要结构受癌肿挤压粘连致密,手术操作受限,难度更是极高。但是对于受过专业训练的肝胆外科医师来说风险是相对可控的。这需要手术医师术前具备精准的阅片技术,可以对肿瘤及肝内外管道结构术前进行重建,使肿瘤位置,血管胆管走形了然于胸,可以提高手术的安全性 [
综上所述淋巴结清扫对于可切除的肝内胆管细胞癌的患者可能是受益的,但是仍需要临床试验以及肝内胆管细胞癌区域淋巴结转移途径的基础研究进一步证实其必要性。
