Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignancy. It may cause extrahepatic metastases through haematogenous or lymphatic dissemination or direct invasion. Furthermore, methods such as fine-needle aspiration biopsies performed to obtain a diagnosis or percutaneous ethanol injection and radiofrequency hyperthermia performed for treatment may also cause tumour dissemination. We present a 52-year-old male patient whose isolated right chest wall metastasis developed after liver transplantation due to hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed chest wall reconstruction after the mass was removed.Entities:
