We report a case of colon cancer with simultaneous liver metastases successfully treated with multidisciplinary therapy including two-stage hepatectomy. This is a case of a 72-year-old woman diagnosed with type 1 cecal cancer with 2 simulta- neous liver metastases(S4/8: 98mm, S3: 63mm). At first, laparoscopic resection of the primary site was performed to prevent colon ileus. Liver metastases rapidly grew and became unresectable; fortunately, 11 courses of mFOLFOX6 and bevacizu- mab were effective and liver metastases shrunk(S4/8: 85mm, S3: 67mm). At last, two-stage hepatectomy was performed as conversion surgery, and the patient survived without recurrence for more than 2 years.
