Abstract: | A 54-year-old man had undergone transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) three times to treat hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but recurrence was found in June 2005. A large tumor in the left lateral portion of the liver showed extrahepatic growth and was attached to the gastric wall. TAE was performed a forth time. In September 2005, the patient was admitted with worsening anemia. Computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed that the HCC had directly invaded the stomach and caused gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Endoscopic hemostasis was effective, but the patient died because of worsening hepatic failure. |
