A 71-year-old man was admitted to our institution having a HCC with tumor thrombus extending to the inferior vena cava. He simultaneously had a sigmoid colon cancer. S8 segmentectomy combined with a removal of tumor thrombus in the IVC and sigmoidectomy was performed. He had an uneventful postoperative course. He had a recurrence to the lung 46 months after the surgery, and underwent a pulmonary partial resection. Hepatic recurrence was found in 59 months after the initial surgery. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization was performed for the treatment. The patient died of esophageal variceal rupture 78 months after the surgery. Although this case was a highly advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and synchronous sigmoid colon cancer, a surgical treatment and multidisciplinary therapy may contribute to a long-term survival.

We report a long-term survival case of hepatocellular carcinoma with lymph node metastases treated with surgery and radiotherapy. A 71-year-old man was admitted to our department at Kumamoto University Hospital in May 2003 for a treatment of local recurrent HCC after transarterial chemoembolization. CT showed an infiltrative type tumor, 2.5 cm in diameter, in the segment 8 of the liver. We treated the liver tumor with a right paramedian sectionectomy in May 2003. Postoperatively, lymph node metastases and recurrent HCC were diagnosed. Three times of local ablation therapies for recurrent HCC, twice lymph node dissections, and twice radiotherapies for lymph node metastases were successfully achieved. The patient survived without recurrence for 60 months after the initial hepatectomy.
