Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is an one of the most common malignancies worldwidely. Recent advances in both the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma have improved the prognosis, but it has been known difficult in early diagnosis and treatment of extrahepatic metastasis because of low diagnosis rate. We have experienced one rare case of recurred hepatocellular carcinoma with gastric invasion in the postoperative tissue which was confirmed by endoscopy and operation in a gastrointestinal hemorrhage pateint.
