Giant cutaneous metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma
Cutaneous metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare and mostly occur on the face, scalp, chest, and shoulders, often with rapid growth. We report the case of an 86‐year‐old man who presented to our hospital with a mass, 5 cm in diameter, on the left side of his nose. His past history i...

description | Cutaneous metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare and mostly occur on the face, scalp, chest, and shoulders, often with rapid growth. We report the case of an 86‐year‐old man who presented to our hospital with a mass, 5 cm in diameter, on the left side of his nose. His past history included a partial hepatectomy for HCC, 3 years previously, and a subsequent diagnosis of lung metastases. Skin and gingival biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic HCC and he was treated with immunotherapy followed by transarterial embolization (TAE). The latter resulted in a significant reduction in the cutaneous tumour mass. |
