    Abstract:
    We report a case of disease-free survival of liver and lung metastases of rectal cancer resected for a total of five times. A 54-year-old female with metastatic liver and lung tumors of rectal cancer was admitted to our hospital. After a radical resection of the original tumor was performed at a previous hospital, liver and lung metastases had been confirmed in 1 year and 9 months and in 2 years and 2 months, respectively, and that both metastases had been resected as well. On admission to our hospital, computed tomography (CT) showed a liver metastasis of 3-cm in diameter in segment 3 and a lung metastasis of 2-cm in diameter in lingular segment. Two surgeries were performed to resect both of them. Because of a recurrent liver metastasis observed in segment 4, we performed a right hepatic lobectomy and partial duodenectomy 2 years later from the surgeries. After the fifth surgery for metastatic lesions, no sign of recurrence has been observed in 2 years and 11 months.
