    Abstract:
    We report a 65-year-old man who received a successful surgical treatment for both pulmonary and adrenal metastases after curative resection to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). He received a partial hepatic resection for HCC of the right hepatic lobe. Thirty-eight months after the first hepatic resection, a metastatic lesion of the right pulmonary lobe was detected by computed tomography (CT). He was orally administered of UFT (600 mg/day). After 6 months of the chemotherapy, a metastatic lesion of lung became decreased in size. However, a metastatic lesion of the right adrenal gland was detected by abdominal CT scan. Fifty six months after the first operation, we performed right adrenalectomy. A further 4 months later, we performed partial resection of the right pulmonary lobe. Eight months after the pulmonary resection, intrahepatic recurrence was detected and he received transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) twice. Eighty one months after the first operation, he died of liver failure due to tumor progression. Surgical resection for metastases from HCC resulted in long-term survival even if there were extrahepatic metastases in two different sites.
