Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary
malignant tumor of liver and has a tendency to bleed and rupture
spontaneously which is potentially life threatening. HCC‘s which are
located in the periphery are more likely to rupture due to tear in the
feeding artery and can further lead to intraperitoneal hemorrhage. CT
scan is one of the first and accurate imaging modality to diagnose
ruptured HCC with signs of rupture like, surrounding perihepatic
hematoma, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, active extravasation of contrast
materials, and enucleation sign. In this case report, we are discussing the
manifestation and CT findings of a classical case of ruptured HCC.
