Here, we report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with bile duct invasion and acute pancreatitis. The patient was successfully treated by endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) and bile duct lavage for hemobilia. Trans-catheter arterial embolization (TAE) was per- formed to stop tumor bleeding and recurrent pancreatitis did not occur anymore during the following 7 years. |
