Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a debilitating complication of primary hepatic disease with a significant annual incidence worldwide. Untreated HCC may result in a severe reduction to life expectancy, dependent on staging at diagnosis. Typically, HCC has a propensity to metastasize to the lung, peritoneum, and bone. Cutaneous HCC metastases are rarely encountered, with few described in the literature. The authors present a case of a 66-year-old man with biopsy-proven cutaneous HCC metastasis to the chin. The patient was managed with excision, followed by staged reconstruction. Surgical management and a review of the literature are discussed.
