Abstract
We report a solitary intraperitoneal recurrence in a longterm survivor afte r rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma. Ultrasonography demonstrated the fin ding of a lobulated mass with a "mosaic" appearance. The patient underwent resection of this implant and is currently disease free. We emphasize the i mportance of periodic surveillance of disseminated metastases of this condi tion.
