A 61-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for surgery for gallstones. She was diagnosed as having gallbladder cancer after a detailed radiologic examination. At the first laparotomy, gallbladder cancer with bulky invasion to the liver and multiple liver metastases were observed. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) administration was chosen. After 7 administration of GC, we changed GC to gemcitabine alone due to blood toxicity. After 7 months of chemotherapy, although CT findings showed regression of the liver invasion and the liver metastases, the serum CA19-9 level gradually increased. Because there were no obvious distant metastases on detailed radiologic examination, we performed surgery for the primary lesion after obtaining informed consent. Pathological examination demonstrated fibrosis without viable cancer cells in the metastatic liver tumor. Gemcitabine was administered as post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy. Twelve months after surgery, there was no sign of recurrence.
