title: [A case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a huge tumor thrombus in the right atrium].
abstract: A case of HCC with a huge tumor thrombus in the right atrium is reported. CT and celiac angiography revealed HCC in the liver. Inferior vena cavography and cardiac blood pool scintigraphy demonstrated a large defect in the right atrium, and 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy showed a lesion of abnormal accumulation in the right atrium. With these findings, diagnosis of HCC with a tumor thrombus in the right atrium was made, and the clinical diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy.
