Abstract:
The authors describe a rare case of hepatocellular carcinoma that metastasized to the pectineal muscle of the right thigh. The patient had been treated with surgical procedures and with multiple sessions of transarterial chemoembolization, one of which was complicated by a right femoral artery hematoma at the catheter insertion site. It is unclear whether the muscle metastasis was caused by blood-borne spread or by tumor-cell seeding caused by the TACE procedure.
