title: [Fine needle puncture cytology in metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma].
abstract: Distant metastases occur in 50% of cases of HCC. Bones are involved in 11% with the spine as the most important localization. In the reported case a tumorous mass in the liver, suspicious for HCC according to clinical and cytological criteria, was proved to be malignant by the cytologic examination of a metastasis to the sacrum.
