title: [Liver abscess caused by hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy].
abstract: A 48-year-old man underwent left hemicolectomy and right extended hepatectomy for colon cancer and its synchronous multiple liver metastasis. Sixteen months after, multiple metastases in the remnant liver were found, so he was given bolus hepatic infusion of 5-FU 1,000 mg/week, total amount, 25 g. The response was CR, but he developed a liver abscess in segment 4.
