75 years old female patient was referred with large, multifocal colorectal liver metastasis. Prior to this consultation she received chemotherapies of various protocols and series. Liver metastasis, however, increased at about 3 times of the original size during the 5 months of the oncological treatment. ⋯ Portal occlusion technique was necessary to induce the hypertrophy of the FLR. Due to rapid tumor progression we decided to perform the first ALPPS (PVL + in situ split) procedure in Hungary. After a very fast (9 days) and significant (94%) hypertrophy of the FLR the planned liver resection was successfully performed.
