    Abstract:
    On June 11, 1986, a 70-year-old man was introduced to our hospital because of an elevated AFP and hepatomegaly. He was diagnosed as having an HCC in the left medial segment and a transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was able to reduce his AFP level. In December, 1986, repeated tarry stool was noted, and he was readmitted to hospital on January, 28, 1987, because of severe anemia. An ordinary X-ray revealed an abnormal gas shadow in the right upper abdomen. A subsequent endoscopic examination showed a tumoral mass protruding into the duodenal lumen through a duodenal perforation. After death an autopsy revealed that the perforation was due to the expansive growth of the tumoral mass to the duodenum.
