ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. However, brain metastases from this cancer are incredibly rare. While the hepatocellular carcinoma mortality rate in the United States has been increasing, hepatocellular carcinoma is rare among patients without underlying liver disease. Here we present a patient with a history of left optic nerve meningioma treated with stereotactic radiosurgery who presented with acute vision loss. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing mass lesion in the region of the sella turcica. Neurosurgical histopathology revealed a metastatic lesion consistent with hepatocellular carcinoma. Systemic workup failed to identify a primary liver lesion.
