Résumé
The liver is the digestive organ where metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site is most often observed. A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with a growing gallbladder tumor and multiple liver tumors limited to the left lateral sector. Liver tumors were suggested to be primary or secondary adenocarcinoma with no relation to the gallbladder tumor. Also for diagnostic purposes, laparoscopic full-thickness resection of the gallbladder, laparoscopic lateral sectionectomy and lymph node sampling were performed. The final histopathological diagnosis was hyperplastic polyp of the gallbladder and metastatic poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the liver. Liver tumors were suspected to originate from the stomach, duodenum, or small intestine; however, the primary sites could not be identified. The patient has been closely followed up without any chemotherapy 3 months after surgery. Laparoscopic surgery can be strongly recommended for patients with multiple liver tumors of unknown origin concomitant with a gallbladder tumor.

METHODS
A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with a growing gallbladder tumor and multiple liver tumors limited to the left lateral sector. Liver tumors were suggested to be primary or secondary adenocarcinoma with no relation to the gallbladder tumor. Also for diagnostic purposes, laparoscopic full-thickness resection of the gallbladder, laparoscopic lateral sectionectomy and lymph node sampling were performed. The final histopathological diagnosis was hyperplastic polyp of the gallbladder and metastatic poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the liver. Liver tumors were suspected to originate from the stomach, duodenum, or small intestine; however, the primary sites could not be identified. The patient has been closely followed up without any chemotherapy 3 months after surgery.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Laparoscopic surgery can be strongly recommended for patients with multiple liver tumors of unknown origin concomitant with a gallbladder tumor.
