Core Tip	Spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a life-threatening condition. Currently, sorafenib is available for HCC patients with spontaneous rupture, although its efficacy and safety have not been reported. This study aims to report the outcome of patients with ruptured HCC in a single center during a 5-year period. We retrospectively analyzed 32 patients who presented with ruptured HCC at our institute between 2008 and 2013. We concluded that sorafenib can be used in patients with ruptured HCC as it has interesting activity and is well tolerated. However, a larger prospective study is necessary to determine the efficacy of sorafenib in this group of patients.
