“…In previous reports, the suggested treatment for liver metastases from pancreatobiliary cancer has been systemic and regional chemotherapy, especially hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy [11,12]. However, there is no concrete evidence to date suggesting a beneficial effect of cancer chemotherapy on prognosis.…”

“…However, there have been few reports of chemotherapy for metastatic liver tumor from carcinoma of the papilla of Vater, and there is no evidence suggesting a beneficial effect of such chemotherapy on prognosis in these patients. Seyama et al 7 reported a patient with multiple metastases of carcinoma of the papilla of Vater who showed a complete response to intrahepatic arterial infusion of 5-fluorouracil (FU) and low-dose cisplatin. Even in this patient, however, the complete response in the liver metastases lasted for only 4 months, and a survival of only 1 year was documented after the liver metastases had been detected.…”

We present herein a rare case of a long-term survivor after major hepatectomy performed for a metastatic liver tumor from carcinoma of the papilla of Vater. A 74-year-old man had undergone a pancreaticoduodenectomy for carcinoma of the papilla of Vater with obstructive jaundice, in April 1995. Histologically, an exposed mass-forming type of tumor, measuring 40 x 30 mm, was composed of mucinous and papillary adenocarcinoma, invading into the muscularis propria of the duodenum, without lymph node metastases. The patient did not receive any type of chemotherapy. In September 1999, a solitary hepatic tumor, 3.5 cm in diameter, was detected in segment VIII of the liver by computed tomography. In November 1999, right hepatic lobectomy was carried out. The anterior and posterior portal pedicles were ligated and dissected in the hepatic parenchyma so as not to compromise the hepaticojejunostomy. After the hepatectomy, the patient was treated with low-dose tegafur/uracil/cisplatin therapy for approximately 2 years. He has been doing well, without recurrence, for 5 years after the hepatectomy. Hepatectomy for hepatic metastases from carcinoma of the papilla of Vater is thought to be a useful surgical treatment in selected patients.
