Abstract

Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has an aggressive course with a very poor outcome. The common hematogenous metastatic sites are the lungs, bones, and adrenal glands. The chest wall is an extremely rare site of metastasis from HCC. We report a rare presentation in a gentleman, where the chest wall metastasis kept progressing in spite of treatment, without any evidence of a detectable primary.

Keywords
