Three cases of tumor thrombus that originated from a hepatocellular carcinoma in the liver and extended into the right atrium are described. All patients had received both resection of the tumor thrombus and lobectomy of the liver either simultaneously or independently within a short interval. Surgical order and extracorporeal circulation system were varied depending on the thrombus extension. Two of the patients died within 4 months of surgery due to different reasons and the other is doing well at 24 months after surgery.
