    Abstract:
    We report herein a case of spindle cell type hepatocellular carcinoma responding to hepatic intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy. A 50-year-old woman was hospitalized for right epigastralgia. A computed tomography scan demonstrated cloudy liver tumor with a diameter of 12 cm in S5 and S8. Surgery was performed based on the diagnosis of liver tumor. However, because the tumor was also present in the left lobe, we did only a biopsy for a part of tumor. From the pathological findings, this was diagnosed as a spindle cell type hepatocellular carcinoma. After the operation, hepatic intra-arterial injection therapy of continuous infusion with 5-FU was conducted for two weeks. A small reduction in the tumor was seen with computed tomography after the completion of two courses.
