Abstract
A 70-year-old male had repeatedly undergone local treatment for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for 12 years. Systemic chemotherapy with sorafenib was started because lymph node and lung metastases were noted on X−1. However, the disease continued to progress, resulting in severe duodenal stenosis due to tumor invasion from lymph node metastasis. The patient eventually underwent laparoscopic gastric and small bowel bypass surgery after thorough consultation with a gastrointestinal surgeon and providing adequate informed consent. The postoperative course was good, and the patient was capable of oral intake and was discharged home. The patient wished to receive terminal care at home and expired about 6 months later due to HCC progression. Surgical bypass may be an option for patients with gastrointestinal obstruction associated with advanced HCC, as in this case, after careful consideration of the patient's condition.
