胸膜腫瘍が疑われた横隔膜肝ヘルニアの1例

Hepatic Hernia through a Diaphragmatic Defect Mimicking Pleural Tumor：Report of a Case

はじめに　肝ヘルニアは，肝臓が横隔膜の欠損部から胸腔内へ逸脱する病態であるが，われわれは術前に胸膜腫瘍と診断して手術を施行した横隔膜肝ヘルニアの1例を経験したので報告する．

Hepatic heria in adult without history of trauma or surgery is rare, and is sometimes operated under the diagnosis of lung or diaphragmatic tumor. Here, we report a case of hepatic hernia which had been preoperatively suspected of pleural tumor and surgically treated. At surgery, multiple lesions mimicking ectopic endometriosis were found on the diaphragma and hepatic profrusion was found from one of lesions.
