Ghatge Tushar

Abstract :

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common malignancy among males and the 7th among female patients in the india. This is due to the endemicity of hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. We report one case of spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma. Initial control of bleeding was achieved surgically by ligation of right hepatic artery . The incidence of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma varies from 2 to 26 percent with mortality 1.2 percent. The mechanism of spontaneous rupture is not clear but seems to be due to rapid expansion of of the tumor with second ary of bleeding within its substance .also area of acute inflammation with consequent bleeding ,coagulopathy or tumor necrosis
