    Abstract:
    The spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes usually critical and life threatening condition because of hypovolemic shock due to massive hemorrhage, underlying liver cirrhosis and extensive tumor growth. Recently, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been used for controlling arterial bleeding of spontaneous rupture of HCC. We report a long surviving case (1 year 9 months) with stage IV ruptured HCC treated by emergency TAE.
