Liver metastases from carcinoid tumors are usually diffuse at the time of diagnosis, and surgical resection is rarely feasible. The development and clinical application of an analog of somatostatin has provided a novel and frequently highly effective tool for control of carcinoid tumors; most patients however, become resistant to this therapy. Arterial hypervascularization of most liver metastases from carcinoid tumor argues in favor of hepatic arterial chemoembolization. We report here a patient with carcinoid tumor with liver metastasis who has substantial tumor regression with hepatic artery chernoembolization
