We treated a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma in whom jaundice was caused by obstruction of the common hepatic duct because of compression by the tumor. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage was performed preoperatively. The tumor was entirely in the medial segment of the liver, without i

Abstract
Tumor thrombus in the extrahepatic biliary tree is a rare mechanism of obstructive jaundice. We present a patient with a minute hepatocellular carcinoma in the caudate lobe that invaded the common hepatic duct and caused biliary obstruction. Endoscopic sonography showed a tumor thrombus with central echogenicity and a βnoduleβinβnoduleβ pattern and suggested the correct diagnosis. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Purpose. To understand the hemodynamic differences between the hepatic arterial branches that supply hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and those that do not, we compared the velocity waveforms of both types of arteries. Methods. Using duplex color Doppler sonography, we examined 38 patients with HCC
