Abstract

Abstract: Treatment of patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases is challenging. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who had about 50 liver metastases from an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to a remarkable response of the hepatic metastases. The patient was subjected to sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis and synchronous treatment of all liver metastases. The number of liver lesions should not in itself present a contraindication to resection. This is the first report of successful concomitant surgical treatment of sigmoid adenocarcinoma and multimetastatic liver disease.
