Abstract

A case of a 72-year-old woman with painful abdominal-wall mass which presented with hepatocellular carcinoma of media segment of the left hepatic lobe that mimics epigastric hernia without abdominal incision is described. Hepatic carcinoma herniation hat mimics epigastric hernia is unusual because of the lack of published cases similar to this one. In addition, the published ther malignant herniation cases is briefly reviewed.
