Abstract

Surgical removal of bone metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma frequently produces profuse bleeding. To reduce bleeding, we have performed preoperative embolization of tumor feeding artery with flow-dependent micro-platinum coils during superselective angiography in a case of frontal bone metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma. The tumor was removed easily with minimal bleeding after the embolization, so we report the case with review of the relevant literature.
