Hepatocellular carcinoma with extrahepatic metastasis are a threat to public health worldwide. Lung, bones and abdominal lymph nodes are the major sites of metastasis from liver primary, adrenal metastasis being a less common site. Here we present an old male presented with upper abdominal pain diagnosed as advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with right adrenal metastasis. Patient was treated with multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib and outcome was acceptable with good patient compliance.
