Abstract:
The reported incidence of spontaneous rupture of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is up to 14.5%. However, rupture of the metastatic lesions of HCC is very rare. We describe here a case of massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture of right adrenal gland metastasis that was secondary to invasive HCC. This was successfully controlled by performing transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE).
