摘要
An 87-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presented with right-sided chest pain. Computed tomography revealed right bloody pleural effusion and an extravasation from an arterially enhanced mass in the right seventh posterior intercostal space. These findings indicated hemothorax from a rupture of HCC metastasis to the chest wall. Angiography of the intercostal arteries confirmed a hypervascular tumor, and transcatheter arterial embolization resulted in hemostasis. He was discharged with palliative care and remains alive after 9 months. Although hemothorax represents an unusual, life-threatening complication of HCC, our case suggests that transcatheter treatment can achieve hemostasis and a favorable survival even in elderly patients.
