[Case of hepatocellular carcinoma with abdominis muscle metastasis].

A 73-year-old man with liver cirrhosis type C, who was diagnosed as having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), underwent left lobectomy in March 2005. Two years later, intrahepatic recurrence was found, and he was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization as well as hepatic arterial infusion. In July 2007, he complained of a painless mass over the right abdomen and demonstrated an elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level.
