  ABSTRACT: Background: Hepatocarcinoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver with rare bone metastases, electively residing in the vertebrae, ribs and sternum. They remain exceptionally revealing. Cases reports: We report two cases of bone metastases indicative of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with viral hepatitis C. Through these two observations, we describe the various clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects of this condition whose prognosis is poor. Conclusion: Although unusual, osteolytic bone metastases may be indicative of hepatocellular carcinoma, the diagnosis must be made in the event of any tumor bone involvement in a patient with chronic liver disease, particularly viral.
