[A case of liver tumor diagnosed 5 years after gastrectomy against gastric cancer].
A-62-year-old man with gastric cancer underwent gastrectomy 5 years ago, and an abdominal computed tomography scan detected a 15 mm early enhanced lesion located liver (S8) in 2008. Although primary or metastatic were unclear, we underwent partial hepatectomy( S8) as it was an isolated liver tumor. Pathological finding showed adenocarcinoma, and immunostaining was negative for cytokeratin (CK) 7 and positive for CK20 which was the same in primary gastric cancer, so it was diagnosed liver metastasis of gastric cancer. The patient was living at the time, but he passed away 24 months after hepatectomy. We report herein the case of resectable case of liver tumor 5 years after gastrectomy against gastric cancer.
