Hepatocellular carcinoma peritoneal metastases: report of three cases and collective review of the literature.

Introduction: Patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often experience a rapid demise even after a complete removal of intrahepatic tumour. Localised PM may now be adequately controlled and managed with cytoreductive surgery (CRS).

Treatment: Three patients underwent CRS for HCC PM.

Feasibility of ablation as an alternative to surgical metastasectomy in patients with unresectable sarcoma pulmonary metastases.

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternate treatment modality for pulmonary metastasis in non-surgical candidates. Four patients not suitable for surgery underwent percutaneous RFA for pulmonary metastases from leiomyosarcoma. Success of RFA was assessed with computed tomography (CT).
