title: [Icteric-type hepatoma with liver cirrhosis successfully treated with hepatectomy after biliary drainage: case report].
abstract: A 67-year-old man with liver cirrhosis and an icteric-type hepatoma involving the left main portal vein underwent left hepatic lobectomy after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Surgery was successful because of effective biliary drainage and meticulous assessment of liver function tests, including 99mTC-galactosyl human serum albumin scintiphotography.
