Case Reports[Massive hepatic resection for metastatic cancer associated with Dubin-Johnson syndrome. Report of a case].
Massive hepatic resection was carried out on a 42 year-old female who had metastatic lesions of the colonic cancer in right lobe of the liver, which was accompanied by Dubin-Johnson syndrome. The following observations were made. ⋯ Dubin-Johnson pigments in the hepatocytes decreased in proportion to hepatic regeneration for two months after hepatectomy. Therefore, it might be concluded that Dubin-Johnson syndrome is not poor risk factor for major surgery and massive hepatic resection.
