Abstract
We present a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which was fed only by the right renal capsular artery. Ten years earlier, this patient underwent surgery for a solitary HCC in segment IV. However, the hepatic artery was patent and did not participate in feeding the HCC. We consider the renal capsular artery as an essential extrahepatic parasitic feeding artery to HCC.
