title: [Transcatheter arterial embolization for cystic hepatic metastases from leiomyosarcoma of gastrointestinal tract].
abstract: Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed in three patients with cystic hepatic metastases from leiomyosarcoma of gastrointestinal tract. In one patient who had been alive and examined by CT scanning for more than 3 years, it was considered as valid for evaluating efficacy of TAE that the size reduction of cystic lesions followed the reduction of mural nodules and smoothing of marginal irregularity.
