title: Spontaneous rupture of hepatic metastasis from choriocarcinoma: a review of imaging and management.
abstract: Spontaneous rupture of hepatic metastasis causing hemoperitoneum is a rare entity. Ruptured hepatic metastasis has typical imaging findings on biphasic CT which may help in clinching the diagnosis. We present a case of rupture hepatic metastasis from choriocarcinoma in a young-female patient who was managed by transcatheter hepatic artery embolization. A brief review of the imaging features and therapeutic options for the ruptured hepatic metastases is discussed along with the case.
