Computed tomographic findings of ruptured hepatic malignancy

Massive hemorrhage from ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma is uncommon. We report our experience in three cases of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). CT was useful in detecting ruptured hepatocelluar carcinoma showing the parenchymal tumor per se, defining the extent of the hematoma, and showing serial density changes with the age of the hematomas.
