| Abstract: | We report a case with metastatic small cell lung cancer which first manifested with biliary obstruction due to metastasis. Prognosis of patients presenting with jaundice due to hepatic parenchyma involvement is thought to be poor. However, the patient was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and combination chemotherapy with reduced dosage. We believe this to be the first such case report, despite the frequency of metastasis to the liver from small cell lung cancer. |
