ABSTRACT

Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing extrahepatic growth is extremely uncommon. We present the case of a 41-year-old man admitted for further examination of right hypochondrial pain. Computed tomography revealed a huge suprarenal tumoral mass. Under laparotomy, we found that the tumor was pedunculated from the right lobe of the liver. Histologic findings revealed HCC. The patient was treated by mass resection and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Thirteen months after the operation he was still alive without any recurrence in the postoperative course.
