[Duodenal leiomyosarcoma with left hepatic metastasis treated by total exeresis (author's transl)]

A case of duodenal leiomyosarcoma associated with a single liver metastasis successfully treated by gastro-duodenal resection and left lateral hepatic segmentectomy in one stage is reported. The result of hepatic resection for metastatic cancer depends on the location and the histological nature of the primary tumor, on the type of hepatic resection and on the number of metastatic deposits. The patient is alive 26 months postoperatively and there is no evidence of any recurrence.
