    Author: Iwasaki Y, Tani I, Nakajima Y, Ishikawa T, Umeda S, Kusano S.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 2001; 11(3):422-6. PubMed ID: 11288846.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CT findings of rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the caudate lobe of the liver. The CT scans of five cases of rupture of HCC in the caudate lobe of the liver were retrospectively reviewed and correlated with clinical records. All cases showed exophytic tumors in the caudate lobe of the liver and high-attenuation hematomas in the lesser sac on CT. A lesser sac hematoma may be a sentinel clot sign of rupture of HCC in the caudate lobe.
