We report herein a rare instance in which a patient presented with a hemorrhagic cerebral metastasis as the initial manifestation of a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A few cases of cerebral metastasis from HCC have been reported in the literature, mainly from eastern countries. This is the first report from South America of a cerebral metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma.
