Background:
The role of hepatic resection for gynaecological tumours is not well defined as evidence on the subject is lacking. This article describes a tertiary hepatopancreatobiliary unit's experience with hepatic resection for liver metastases from endometrioid primaries.
Methods:
Five women in whom liver metastases developed at 11 months to 10 years post-primary resection are presented. These patients subsequently underwent hepatic resection with disease-free survival of 8-66 months post-resection.
Results:
Outcomes in this patient series support hepatic resection in the face of isolated liver metastasis.
Conclusions:
The authors advocate that patients with hepatic deposits should be referred to specialist hepatobiliary units with a view towards hepatic resection and a subsequent good outcome.
