抄録

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rarely metastasized to the pharyngeal region. We report the case of a 59-year-old man admitted to our hospital with a complaint of hematemesis. An endoscopic examination revealed a tumor located in the left piriform sinus. Histological examination showed metastasis from HCC. Subsequent abdominal examinations demonstrated mild liver cirrhosis due to chronic HCV infection and primary nodules in the lateral segment of the liver. The pharyngeal tumor was completely removed by endoscopic polypectomy after radical hepatectomy for HCC. The patient died of recurrence of HCC 8 months after the first admission. With the presentation of this case, we review the literature reported so far.
