Abstract
We present a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which was fed only by the right renal capsular artery. Ten years earlier, this patient underwent surgery for a solitary HCC in segment IS! However, the hepatic artery was p atent and did not participate in feeding the HCC. We consider the renal cap sular artery as an essential extrahepatic parasitic feeding artery to HCC.
