Abstract

A 67-year-old man complained of abdominal mass, abdominal pain and tarry stool. He was diagnosed as having jejunal leiomyosarcoma and multiple liver metastases after examination. The jejunal leiomyosarcoma was resected by operation. Unrectable liver metastases were repeatedly treated by transarterial embolization with carboplatin and Lipiodol, and a significant reduction was achieved. TAE with carboplatin and Lipiodol was considered evaluating efficiency therapy without side effect. He has remained well presently for 1 years 10 months after operation.
