A CASE OF PULMONARY FIBROSIS ASSOCIATED WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS AND HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA

CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF 7 CASES

Abstract

We report 62 years old male of pulmonary fibrosis with liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) . We performed TAE. Pulmonary fibrosis was progressed remarkbly during the treatments, and he died of respiratory failure. Pathologically defind 7 cases of pulmonary fibrosis with chronic liver disease were found in our hospital. But we could't identify any factor that suggests the relationship between liver and lung fibrosis. However we should follow carefully that sometimes lung fibrosis may progress with chronic liver disease.
