Abstract

A 59-year-old man underwent three operations for hepatic and pulmonary metastases from carcinoma of the rectum. After absolute curative low anterior resection of the rectum for rectal carcinoma on March 18 1992, CT revealed a hepatic metastasis in October of the year. Partial resection of the liver was performed. In May, 1995, he underwent a partial resection of the right lund for pulmonary metasasis which was revealed by CT. Furthermore, he underwent a right upper lobectomy of the lung for multiple pulmonary metastases in Augast, 1997. Follow-up CT has revealed no metastatic lesions after the last surgery. Repeated surgeries for heterochronous metastases to the liver and lung will improve the prognosis of the patient after succesful surgical resection of carcinoma of the rectum.
