Abstract
We report three cases of intraperitoneal seeding from hepatoma. Manifestation of intraperitoneal seeding from hepatoma were intraperitoneal masses (N = 2) and peritoneal thickening (N = 1). Main vascular feeder to intraperitoneal masses was omental branches of the gastroduodenal artery and/or the superior mesenteric artery.
