A 67-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a gallbladder mass. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a protruding mass 34 mm in diameter in the body of the gallbladder with wall thickening and enhancement. Advanced gallbladder carcinoma was diagnosed by image analysis, with liver metastasis in segment 5 and lymph node metastasis in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Subsequently, S4a+S5 hepatic segmentectomy was performed with extrahepatic bile duct resection and regional lymphadenectomy. The final pathological diagnosis was pT2 pN1 pM1, Stage IV,according to the International Union against Cancer classification system. Curative resection was then performed. In addition, we performed adjuvant chemotherapy with 15 courses of 1,000 mg/m2 gemcitabine on days 1, 8, and 15 at every 28 days. At 5 years after the operation, the patient was alive and free of disease. Therefore, in cases of limited liver metastasis (within segments 4a and 5), aggressive surgery should be considered even for Stage IV gallbladder carcinoma. In such cases, long-term patient survival may be expected only when curative resection is achieved.
