Abstract

Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (P-HCC) can be defined as a carcinoma protruding from the liver with or without a pedicle. Cases of P-HCC showing extrahepatic growth are very rare. P-HCC constitutes 0.2-4.2% of all HCC cases in Japan and Taiwan, but few cases in Korea have been reported. A 67-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with a 6-month history of epigastric discomfort. Examination identified an abdominal mass in the left upper quadrant, and abdominal computed tomography revealed a huge mass adjacent to the fundus of the stomach. We diagnosed this mass as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor because of its size and site. However, postoperative histopathological findings showed that the mass was HCC. Here, we report this case and review the relevant medical literature.
