Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ethanol injection is used as palliative treatment for localized pancreatic tumorous lesions such as pancreatic cysts [1]. However, there have been few reports of its use in hepatic metastatic carcinoma. Here we report the use of EUS-guided ethanol injection for treatment of hepatic metastatic carcinoma following pancreatoduodenectomy in a patient with pancreatic cancer, which was successful in obtaining local control.
