Hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that requires prompt management.

The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous absolute ethanol injection under ultrasound guidance. Follow‐up studies with ultrasound and computed tomography for 2 years after treatment revealed no evidence of local recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and of the pseudoaneurysm.
