Abstract

The most serious problem of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the difficulty to achieve curative resection due to unplanned emergency operations, the hemodynamic instability, the frequent intrahepatic recurrence and the peritoneal seeding after resection for primary ruptured hepatocelluar carcinoma. Recent articles have suggested that well planned elective hepatic resection after hemodynamic stabilization of a ruptured HCC patient has a good prognosis, and repeat hepatic resection of recurred HCC has good prognosis when the liver function is good. We report here on patient who survived a long time with recurred HCC after 3 bouts of repeated hepatic resection for intrahepatic recurrences and 1 bout of right hemicolectomy for an omental recurrence. (ED note: now it shows good.)
