[A case of long-term survival with TAE resistant multiple recurrence HCC successfully treated by hepatic resection].
A 55-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for a third recurrence of hepatoma. She was treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in April and November 1996. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple tumors of S4/S8 and S7 in the liver. After the third TAE using SMANCS, Lipiodol and Spongel, abdominal CT revealed insufficient Lipiodol retention and the in efficacy of this treatment. A right lobectomy of the liver was performed for the TAE resistant multiple recurrence of HCC. After the surgery, the patient survived for over 5 years with no recurrence. It appears that this surgery may be a useful modality for TAE resistant multiple recurrence hepatoma in cases of good liver function and lesions limited to the hemi lobe.
