Axial (A) and coronal (B) contrast‐enhanced computed tomography shows a 4‐cm wide hepatic mass (arrowheads) invading the right sus‐hepatic vein (voided arrowheads) and inferior vena cava (voided arrows). The invaded veins are enlarged, and the tumor thrombus extends to the right atrium (arrow). Peri‐hepatic ascites are also present.
