Introduction : Recurrence of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can mainly be divided into intrahepatic recurrence (IHR) and extrahepatic recurrence (EHR). EHR being the less common of the two.
Methods : case report
Results : In a post-hemihepatectomy patient with routine surveillance at 6 months, was noted to have elevated Alpha-Fetoprotein and complained of vague lower abdominal pain. CT scan revealed a 6cm heterogenous mass located at pelvis. During laparotomy for resection, the tumour was found to be bleeding.
Conclusions : In conclusion, a high index of suspicion and early surgical intervention can help in detecting possible bleeding extrahepatic recurrence in the background of a patient with history of HCC.
