A case of hepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis to the duodenum is reported on together with a review of the literature. A 61‐year‐old male was admitted with hematemesis and melena. An endoscopic examination revealed a large hemorrhagic ulcer at the duodenal bulbi. A biopsied specimen taken from the bottom of the ulcer revealed an infiltrating hepatocellular carcinoma. The postmortem examination revealed a hepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis in the duodenum. This is the third report of hepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis in the duodenum.
