Postoperative residual hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with malignant portal vein thrombosis in a 48-year-old man was cured with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the parenchymalportion and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for the malignantportal vein thrombosis. No evidence of tumor recurrence was noted after 18 months of follow-up. The only severe complication in our patient was biliary stricture which was treated with an internal stent viaendoscopic retrograde pancreatico-cholangiography (ERCP)
