Abstract:
A case is reported in which a large hepatoma presented with rupture and acute severe lactic acidosis. Spontaneous rupture is a rare but recognised mode of presentation of hepatoma. Malignancy has also occasionally been associated with acute lactic acidosis, though the association with hepatoma has not previously been reported.
