Abstract

A 78-year-old man was referred to our hospital in March 2003 for rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hemostasis was obtained by emergency angiography. In December 2004, metastasis to the right lung appeared and right lower lobectomy was carried out. In October 2005, a splenic metastatic lesion ruptured and hemostasis was obtained by emergency partial splenic embolization (PSE). Since viable remnants of the splenic tumor were suspected by CT, splenectomy was subsequently performed. He has been followed up in the outpatient clinic without recurrence. This is a markedly rare case of HCC in which, metachronous rupture primary and metastatic lesions, the patient was saved.<br>
