- A ruptured Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of life threatening complication and considered as poor prognosis.
Hemodynamic stability is a key to the early period survival. Hemostasis can be achieved with transarterial embolization and
explo‐laparotomy or surgical resection. Prognosis is related to hemodynamic stability and liver function and tumor size. Surgical
resection of ruptured HCC is recommended when it is possible. Further studies are needed for the treatment of recurred and
progressive patients with ruptured HCC.
