Abstract:
The authors describe three cases of hepatocellular carcinoma presenting with the initial manifestation of an intracranial lesion without primary hepatic symptoms and signs. The only clue of hepatic dysfuntion was mild elevation of the SGOT, SGPT, AIK-Pase and hepatomegaly. The diagnosis could not be made until operation. All three cases of hepatoma had metastasis to cranium. The literauture of hepatoma with cranial metastasis is reviewed.
