A 67-year-old woman was found to have multiple liver abscess and pneumonia. Liver abscess was improved after percutaneous transhepatic abscess drainage(PTAD). A diagnosis of rectal cancer was made by colonoscopy and the patient underwent colostomy for rectal cancer on February 2018. Laparoscopic low anterior resection was performed on July 2019 after mFOLFOX plus bevacizumab(BEV)14 courses. Lower leaf partial lung resection was performed on September 2019 and upper leaf partial resection was performed on September 2020 for lung metastasis. The patient is currently alive without relapse after 21 months. Liver abscess was caused by portal vein infection of rectal cancer. Effective chemotherapy with surgery was successful.
