Abstract

We report herein the case of 70-year-old woman in whom colon cancer and a synchronous metastatic liver tumour were successfully resected laparoscopically. The tumours were treated in two stages. Both post-operative courses were uneventful, and there has been no recurrence during the 8 months since the second procedure.

Keywords: Colorectal cancer; laparoscopic hepatectomy; laparoscopy-assisted colectomy; metastatic liver tumor; two-stage procedure.
