Brain metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma are rare. Limited data from case reports indicates that these tumors may be relatively resistant to conventional whole brain radiotherapy. We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the brain treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. This patient's tumors showed an excellent response to this modality and were successfully controlled for 13 months when she died of disseminated lung metastases.
