Hepatocellular carcinoma with unusual metastasis to the esophagus.

Abstract

We describe a rare case of esophageal metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma. Esophagoscopy showed an oozing semipedunculated polypoid mass. Endoscopic ultrasound showed a mosaic pattern, and angiography and computed tomography showed tumor staining similar to that of the primary tumor in the liver. The present patient underwent superselective transcatheter arterial infusion of anticancer agents and permanent hemostasis was achieved.
