Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasizing to The Skin: An Unusual Presentation
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignancy, however skin metastasis is rare. We report a 65years old male farmer, who presented with a recurring anterior chest wall mass, of several months duration. He had an ulcerated, spontaneously bleeding exophytic tumour on his anterior chest wall, over the lower sternum and upper abdomen. Histologic diagnosis was metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. The case serves as an example that unusual presentations can occur for hepatocellular carcinoma, necessitating a thorough preoperative assessment of cases presenting similarly.
