    Abstract:
    We report on a 71-year old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) whose obstructive jaundice was successfully treated with external irradiation and a self-expandable metallic stent (EMS); Wallstent; Schneider (Europe) AG, Bülach, Switzerland. He was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice. HCC was found in S8; the tumor had invaded the bile duct with growth in the common hepatic duct. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage was performed with difficulty. Radiation therapy to the stenosis enabled us to place a Wallstent endoscopically. He survived without icterus for 1 year.
