Title: Abandonment of surveillance, followed by emergency surgery for a second spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develops in the presence of chronic liver disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming a frequent cause of HCC in developed regions. Spontaneous rupture of HCC (rHCC) is a potentially life-threatening complication of a tumor. The patient's compliance with surveillance after liver resection is vital for the prevention of rHCC.
