Abstract

An 81-year-old man with Small cell lung cancer (limited type), who had been treated with various intravenous chemotherapies combined with irradiation during the previous year, was admitted to our hospital (day 1) for his third intravenous chemotherapy dose. Contrast-enhanced thoraco-abdominal computed tomography on day 1 demonstrated that the primary lung cancer had not grown (data not shown); however, multiple new metastatic tumors in the liver, up to 5 mm in diameter.
