ABSTRACT

Local recurrences or metastases may occur after curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this report a 47-year-old man with intrahepatic recurrences and extrahepatic growth of hepa-tocellular carcinoma invading inferior vena cava, right adrenal gland and right kidney following surgery is described. Emphasis is placed on the MR imaging findings of renal invasion which is thought to be involved by local route.
