[A case of carcinomatous enterodermal fistula successfully treated with arterial infusion chemotherapy]

We report a 74-year-old male patient with a carcinomatous enterodermal fistula after residual gastrectomy, who responded to arterial infusion chemotherapy. The patient was administered 10 mg/body cisplatin (CDDP) and 1,000 mg/body 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) through an injection port every week. After 13 weeks, the fistula was closed and viable cancer cells had disappeared without any side effects. After 1 month, however, the fistula re-opened and viable cancer cells appeared again.
