腹腔游离体(peritoneal loose body,PLB),也称为腹腔鼠,是发生在腹腔内大小各异的病变[1]。PLB最显著的特点是表面光滑,与周围器官没有粘连,包块在腹腔的位置可随体位改变而改变[2]。目前对PLB的发病机制尚不清楚,有学者推测其成因可能是肠脂垂、大网膜等脂肪组织发生坏死脱落,在腹腔内长期伴随血清蛋白质的沉积,中心部分逐渐发生皂化和钙化,最终形成表面光滑的鸡蛋样包块[3-5]。PLB多见于50岁以上男性,直径大于5 cm的PLB非常罕见且易引起非特异临床症状,如腹痛[6]、尿急[7]、肠梗阻[4]等,极易误诊为腹部良恶性肿瘤、肠系膜淋巴结钙化、结核性肉芽肿等[8]。现报道1例伴有腹痛的巨大PLB病例。
病例资料 男性患者,52岁,因“左上腹疼痛并食欲减退1月余”入院,无恶心呕吐,无大小便异常。腹部CT显示左腹有一光滑的椭圆形病变,中央有钙化点,大小约5.8 cm×5.2 cm(图 1A)。患者长期反复腹痛且不能明确病因,CT提示腹部有占位腹部肿瘤可能性较大,因此决定采用剖腹探查。术中探查发现患者腹腔内有粘连,回盲连接处位于左侧且固定于左上腹壁,在小肠间隙发现一个鸡蛋样包块,为白色椭圆形肿块,大小约7.5 cm×5.5 cm×5 cm(图 1B),表面光滑,质韧,与周围组织无粘连。病变有2个钙化中心(图 1C),组织学上由胶原纤维和钙化组织组成,缺乏细胞成分。肿块取出后患者临床症状消失,于术后第7天出院。本例患者虽有腹腔粘连,但未出现肠梗阻,而腹腔粘连一般不会出现疼痛现象,所以我们推测腹痛是由巨大PLB所引起。
蛋白质分析 采用液相色谱质谱联用仪分析病变内的蛋白质成分,共发现686个蛋白质,其中40个蛋白质与胶原纤维和黏附有关(表 1)。Asporin蛋白(Asporin protein,ASPN)具有促进胶原与钙结合的作用,并可能诱导胶原钙化。

讨论 PLB在临床上非常罕见,大多数在手术或尸检时才被发现,只有少数在手术前诊断[9]。张宏等[10]研究了22例PLB患者,发现男性中更为常见,男性和女性的发病率比为18:4,多发于50~70岁。现在普遍认为,PLB来源于肠脂垂、大网膜等组织的慢性皂化和钙化[11]。腹腔液体在其表面沉积及其与周围腹膜的相互作用被认为是导致PLB表面光滑的原因[3]。本例患者表现为左上腹痛、食欲下降,考虑可能是巨大PLB对周围脏器压迫所引起的。我们通过外科手术治疗消除了患者的腹痛及食欲减退等症状;通过Masson和von Kossa染色证实,PLB主要由胶原纤维和分散的钙化物组成;通过使用LC-MS/MS技术检测到PLB内的确切蛋白质组分。其中ASPN引起了我们的注意,ASPN是富含亮氨酸的小蛋白聚糖细胞外蛋白家族的成员,也称为牙周膜相关蛋白1,首次在人类软骨中发现,其过度表达与骨关节炎有关[12]。ASPN与胶原纤维的形成密切相关[12],并被认为是前列腺癌[13]、胰腺癌[14]和胃癌[15-16]中的一种癌蛋白,但在乳腺癌中被认为是一种肿瘤抑制因子[17-18],同时ASPN可以通过调节间充质基质细胞分化参与肿瘤的转移[19]。最新研究表明ASPN可以防止心肌过度纤维化和细胞死亡[20]。由于PLB主要由胶原纤维和分散钙化灶组成,而ASPN与胶原的形成和钙化密切相关,因此我们推测ASPN在PLB的形成过程中发挥一定的作用。
本文报道了1例巨大PLB相关诊治过程,并对PLB的成因进行了初步探索。一般认为PLB为良性病变,只需定期随访。PLB表现为CT占位,易误诊为肿瘤,CT检查发现病灶呈规则的圆形或椭圆形,边界清楚光滑,中间有钙化,增强CT显示无血供,更重要的是PLB可随体位改变发生移动,这是一个有别于肿瘤的重要鉴别点。因此,怀疑PLB时可以让患者变动体位再做一次CT检查,若发现病灶位置改变,则有助于确认PLB。我们建议先行腹腔镜探查,避免开腹手术对患者造成较大损伤。在临床工作中要注意腹腔影像学变化,一旦发现腹腔内圆形或椭圆形的光滑病变,可考虑PLB,以防误诊或漏诊。
