Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of liver perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa).Methods The clinicopathological data of 101 patients with hepatic PEComa admitted to the first affiliated hospital of Hunnan Normal University from January 2002 to September 2020 were studied retrospectively. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test and Logistic regression model were performed to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence of liver PEComa.Results Ninty-nine patients underwent surgical treatment and 2 patients only underwent ultrasound-guided liver mass puncture biopsy. All pathological diagnosis were liver PEComa. Immunohistochemical revealed that Melan-A, Melanoma and SMA were detected in all petients, and 99 patients were positive for CD34. Follow-up time: 2 months to 212 months. Among of them, 11 cases had recurrence. Statistical analysis showed that whether maximum tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm, had initial symptoms or the Ki-67 postive expression rate > 10% were related to liver PEComa recurrence, and maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm [R=4.893 (95% CI: 1.045, 22.903)] and presence of initial symptoms [R=6.501 (95% CI: 1.384, 30.551)] were independent risk factors for liver PEComa recurrence (P < 0.05).Conclusion Liver PEComa tends to occur in middle-aged women. The Imaging features have some specificity, but the diagnosis rate is still low. Diagnosis of liver PEComa depends on pathological examination. Surgery is the main form of treatment. Patients should be followed closely after surgery ,especially with independent risk factors for recurrence.
