Core Tip	Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become the first treatment choice for patients with non-surgical hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Common complications associated with TACE have been reported, which include acute hepatic failure, liver abscess, intrahepatic biloma, hepatic infarction, hepatic artery occlusion, gallbladder infarction, acute renal failure, and/or gastrointestinal mucosal ulceration. However, fatal complications are rare. Although a few cases with pulmonary lipiodol embolism were previously reported, to our knowledge there have been no pathological autopsy reports. Here we present a pathological autopsy report for a patient with a huge HCC who died due to pulmonary lipiodol embolism after TACE.
