TI  - Intraperitoneal drop metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma: CT and 
      angiographic findings.
PG  - 638-42
AB  - Our goal was to describe the radiological manifestations of intraperitoneal drop 
      metastases (IPDMs) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Seven patients 
      with clinically (n = 4) or pathologically (n = 3) proven IPDMs from HCC were 
      retrospectively analyzed. Medical records, CT scans (n = 7), and angiographic 
      findings (n = 5) were reviewed. RESULTS: On CT scans, all seven patients had 
      single or multiple nodular masses in the liver. In six patients, the hepatic 
      masses showed an exophytic growth. Single (n = 4) or multiple (n = 3) discrete 
      omental masses, 3-10 cm in diameter, were also demonstrated in all patients. 
      Intratumoral necrosis in the omental mass and engorgement of adjacent omental 
      vessels were demonstrated in five and three patients, respectively. On 
      angiography, the omental masses showed hypervascularity supplied by omental 
      branches (n = 4) and superior mesenteric (n = 2) and inferior mesenteric (n = 1) 
      artery and also showed prominent draining veins. CONCLUSION: The radiological 
      manifestations of IPDM from HCC are single or multiple discrete hypervascular 
      masses in the omentum. These are quite different from those of usually 
      carcinomatosis peritonei.
