Extrahepatic metastasis of Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. Because most of metastases to the gastrointestinal tract have no clinical manifestations, they are usually found incidentally at the time of an autopsy or a laparotomy, We experienced a case of duodenal metastasis of HCC, which presented UGI bleeding. A 59 years old male was admitted to our hospital due to generalized jaundice, which lasted for about a week. From the third day of admission, he had episodes of hematemesis and melena. An abdoinal CT scan demonstrated multiple, variable sized low-density masses in the entire liver with portal vein thrombosis and conglomerated lymph nodes. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a protruded submucosal mass-like lesion with multiple ulceration in the duodenal bulb. We confirmed the duodenal mass-like lesion to be hepatocellular carcinoma by a biopsy and a histoimmunochemical study. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 16: 749~754, 1996)
