چکیده

primary malignant tumor of the liver. Extrahepatic metastasis can occur through hematogeneous metastasis, lymphatic extension and direct invasion (1). The incidence of spontaneous rupture of primary HCC has been reported to be up to 14.5% (2, 3). However, rupture of the metastatic lesions of HCC is very rare. We report here on a case of massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture of right adrenal gland metastasis that was secondary to invasive HCC. This was successfully controlled by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE).
