Abstract

A 58-year-old man was admitted to our department because he had been diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma, which was located at S6 segment, and posterior segmentectomy was performed. After 6 months, right lung metastases of HCC were found and right bronchial arterial infusion of CDDP and MMC was performed twice. Dramatic effects were obtained such as disappearance of lung metastases. We emphasize the useful effect of CDDP and MMC for metastases of HCC.
