Cranial Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with Chronic Epidural Hematoma —Case Report—

Abstract

A case of cranial metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with epidural hematoma in a 58-year-old male is presented. The epidural hematoma demonstrated an unusual chronic clinical course and computed tomographic appearance. Associated bleeding from either the diploic marrow or emissary veins might be a cause of the slowly expanding hematoma, and the outward displacement of the artificial bone-flap implanted previously may also have contributed to the chronic course.
