Abstract
|
|
|
|
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is known to be an effective palliative treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serious complications, such as neutropenic sepsis and hepatic decompensation, are well known. A HCC rupture following TACE is a rare complication; however, it can be life-threatening if it occurs. In a 75-year-old male patient who subsequently developed capsular rupture of the lipiodol laden mass and several free intraperitoneal chemoembolization agents with hemoperitoneum, we report a case of a ruptured HCC that superficially located arterial enhancing and early wash-out mass in the right hepatic dome following TACE.
