Abstract: A 73-year-old man with chronic hepatitis C was Successfully treated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by localized treatment. During the follow-up period, abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed no HCC recurrence in the liver. However, 9 months after the treatment, abdominal lymph nodes appeared enlarged on CT. Laparoscopic biopsy of the lymph nodes showed that the lesion was HCC, and TS-1/cisplatin chemotherapy was performed. However, extra-hepatic lymph nodes rapidly grew, leading to obstructive jaundice and finally death 10 months after of HCC metastasis. Although abdominal lymph node metastasis of HCC has been widely considered to be rare, the confirmation of effective therapy is awaited because histological studies have suggested that this pathologic lesion may occur more often than expected.
