title: [A case of metastatic liver cell carcinoma in the abdominal wall due to direct skin invasion from protruding liver tumor].
abstract: A case of a hepatocellular carcinoma with a metastasis to abdominal wall is reported. The patient was a 52-year-old man who, in December, 1982, had been found to have a 16 x 13 cm of tumor in the right lobe of the liver. He received transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) several times and a hepatic segmentectomy twice. He survived more than six years until his death on January, 17, 1989. A subcutaneous tumor that had appeared in May, 1988 had gradually increased in size and was found to have reached 6 x 5.5 x 2.5 cm on autopsy. The tumor had connected directly with the liver tumor.
