A rare case of a colon cancer with a hepatomatous metastasis is reported. A 79 year old female was admitted hospital in April, 1988 with liver cirrhosis. On death in November, 1988, an autopsy revealed a primary, linitis plastica type diffuse adenocarcinoma of the total colon with an extensive metastases into lungs, kidneys, liver, small intestine, bladder, spleen, the bone marrow, and the lymph nodes. In the cirrhotic liver two hepatomatous nodules were found. As a focus of one of these nodules, there was a metastatic linitis plastica lesion of the colon.
