[Orthotopic liver transplantation for metastases of bronchial carcinoid tumor].
We report the case of a 42 year old man in whom orthotopic liver transplantation was performed successfully for unresectable hepatic metastases of a bronchial carcinoid tumor. Prior to transplantation, somatostatin therapy, pulmonary lobectomy, and systemic chemotherapy (streptozotocin and fluorouracil) were performed. After 9 months there were no signs of clinical or biological recurrence. Orthotopic liver transplantation might be indicated for unresectable and limited liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumor.
