ABSTRACT
Although advances in imaging technology have allowed for earlier detection of disease, hepatocellular carcinoma is usually asymptomatic and discovered at an advanced stage with metastasis. The most common sites of metastasis include lung, peritoneum, adrenal gland, and bone, but rarely, the nasal cavity, orbit, gallbladder, and ovary can be metastatic sites. We experienced a case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary in a living patient. The differential diagnosis includes hepatoid yolk sac tumor of the ovary, primary or metastatic hepatoid carcinoma and primary or metastatic oxyphil cell tumor of the ovary. To the best of our knowledge, there have been eight cases of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary in the English literature and only six cases discovered in living patients. This is the first report of a metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary in Korea.
