title: Uterine metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report.
abstract: The extrahepatic spread of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncommon. Moreover, metastatic uterine tumor from extragenital primaries is rare. We report a 63-year-old woman with uterine metastasis from HCC. She had undergone transcatheter arterial embolization four times and surgery for HCC from 2-4 years before. This time, she underwent resection of a newborn, head-sized uterine tumor that was proven to be metastasis from HCC. This is the first described case of metastatic uterine tumor originated from HCC.
