Abstract The autopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma at Hines VA Hospital was reviewed for a 33‐year period, between 1954 and 1986. The neoplasm is uncommon and bone involvement was observed in 7.3% or in ten of 137 cases. A clinical presentation of osseous metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. A brief literature review is also included.
