Abstract
A 49-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of exophthalmus and liver dysfunction. He had been pointed out liver dysfunction for the past 10 years. He had a left temporal headache 2 months prior to admission. Left exophthalmus with ophthalmalgia and left hypochondralgia appeared 2 weeks before admission. On examination, jaundice, left exophthalmus and hepatosplenomegaly were observed. He was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma with liver cirrhosis by blood chemistry, ultrasonic tomography, liver scintigram and aspiration cytology. Brain CT scan showed left intra-orbital and right sphenoid bone metastasis. Autopsy revealed diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma with multiple hone meatstases and left intra-orbital metastasis.
We described a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with intra-orbital metastasis since the condition was rare.
