Abstract:
60-year-old woman was referred to us for epigastralagia under the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. Cholecystectomy was performed, and gallbladder carcinoma was pinpointed by postoperative pathological diagnosis. Because liver invasion should have been detected by pathological diagnosis, we conducted liver S4a+S5 resection, extrahepatic bile duct resection and D2 lymphadenectomy. The pathological diagnosis was advanced gallbladder carcinoma with liver metastasis. We treated a patient with curative operation and hepatic arterial infusion adjuvant chemotherapy by low-dose FP therapy for advanced gallbladder carcinoma, and she is doing well now without disease recurrence eight years after surgery.
