In the United States and western Europe, hepatocellular carcinoma is not generally regarded as a distantly metastasizing tumor. The ability of hepatocellular carcinoma to metastasize to the brain is illustrated by the example of a 65-year-old white American man with no identifiable risk factors for primary liver cancer. Though hepatocellular carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the central nervous system, such metastases are reported to have led to tumor diagnosis or signaled tumor relapse.
在美国和西欧，肝细胞癌一般不被视为会发生远处转移的肿瘤。一名65岁的美国白人男性，无原发性肝癌的可识别风险因素，其病例说明了肝细胞癌转移至脑部的情况。虽然肝细胞癌很少转移至中枢神经系统，但据报道，此类转移已导致肿瘤被诊断或提示肿瘤复发。
