Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer all over the world. It demonstrates a tendency for vascular invasion, producing extensive intrahepatic metastases and portal vein or inferior vena cava extension. Tumor spread of abdominal diseases via hepatic ligaments has also been reported. The author reports a rare case of HCC invading the anterior abdominal wall muscles and protruding into the subcutaneous fat.

“…[2][3][4] The presence of cutaneous metastases from HCC as the fi rst sign of onset is very unusual. [5][6][7] Reingold and Smith showed that HCC skin metastases appearing as fast growing nodules on the head, chest, and shoulders were sometimes the fi rst signs of the neoplasm. 8 These metastases may be located in the skin as a consequence of hematogenous or lymphatic neoplastic cell dissemination.…”

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a tumor whose incidence has been increasing in recent years. The occurrence of cutaneous metastases from HCC, as the first sign of onset, is very unusual. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis from HCC appearing as a shoulder abscess and being the first clinical sign of the disease. We also examined the few published cases, and the diagnosis, treatment, and survival rate for this disease. Metastases of HCC should be included in the differential diagnosis of growing lesions in unusual localizations. Biopsies are required to confirm the diagnosis. The diagnosis of HCC from a cutaneous lesion is very uncommon and is associated with a poor prognosis.
