Abstract
Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract due to hepatocellular carcino ma invasion is unusual. We describe a 71-year-old man who had bloody s tools caused by a hepatocellular carcinoma that directly invaded the t ransverse colon. The diagnosis was confirmed by colonoscopy and tissue examination. Our patient is the first with lower gastrointestinal ble eding from a hepatocellular carcinoma during the natural course of the tumor.
