BACKGROUND: The adrenal gland is a common site of extrahepatic @entity3 from a @entity157 ( @entity157 ). However, treatment of adrenal @entity3 has not been well characterized. METHODS: Of 562 @entity1 who underwent hepatic resection for a @entity157 , 91 developed extrahepatic @entity3 . We reviewed the medical records of 10 @entity1 with adrenal @entity3 (9 males and 1 female; mean age 63 years at the time of hepatic resection). RESULTS: The mean diameter of the @entity5 was 5 cm, and all were located in the right lobe of the liver. The mean interval from hepatic resection to recurrence was 18 months. Seven @entity1 underwent treatment of intrahepatic recurrence. To treat the adrenal @entity3 , surgical resection was performed in 4 @entity1 , and transcatheter arterial embolization was performed in 1 @entity1 . The @entity1 treated had no other extrahepatic @entity3 . The mean diameter of the resected @entity5 was 6 cm. There was no hospital mortality. With surgical resection, 1 @entity1 has been alive 63 months after recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Adrenal @entity3 from a @entity157 were often large at the time of diagnosis. Since surgical resection was a safe procedure, and some @entity1 could be alive for a long time, it should be performed whenever possible.
