{Abstract}: BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major malignant tumour of the liver. Its rupture is a serious and fatal complication. Its diagnosis and management are a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. The peri-hepatic packing: the only alternative for the management of hepatic tumour ruptures in resource-constrained hospitals.
METHODS: We are reporting the case of a 45 years old man, carrier of viral hepatitis B and poorly followed up, who presented a sudden picture of hemodynamic instability. A laparotomy allowed finding a hepatic tumour rupture. He benefited from a damage control by peri hepatic packing.
CONCLUSIONS: Peri hepatic packing is a major solution in the management of ruptured liver tumour in Africa.
