Bleeding-related adverse events may occur due to anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. Here, we report two cases of variceal rupture during atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (ATZ/BV) treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC).Case 1 involved a man in his 60 s with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (LC) and u-HCC. Seventy-four days after ATZ/BV administration, the patient was admitted for hematemesis. Upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed worsening of the esophageal varices (EVs) to F2 grade with active bleeding. Endoscopic variceal ligation successfully achieved hemostasis.Case 2 involved a man in his 70 s with alcoholic LC and u-HCC. The patient was admitted with hematemesis 114 days after ATZ/BV administration. During EGD, the EVs deteriorated to F3 grade, although hemostasis had already been achieved. The evaluation was discontinued during the observation stage because of the worsening hepatic reserve.Neither patient had EVs warranting prophylactic treatment before ATZ/BV administration, showed a partial tumor response, or had portal vein tumor thrombus. Both patients demonstrated increased total diameters of the collateral veins and splenic volume compared to those before treatment. These findings suggest that ATZ/BV treatment may increase portal pressure. In conclusion, the administration of ATZ/BV to patients with LC and u-HCC necessitates careful management of EVs aggravation and rupture.
