Abstract;A 54-year-old man with diabetes mellitus was referred to the hospital because of a high fever and right hypochondralgia. Abdominal ultrasonography and an abdominal CT scan revealed a giant lesion 10 cm in diameter in the right hepatic lobe. Since a possibility of a malignant tumor could not be ruled out on the basis of these findings, an extended right hepatectomy was performed following PTPE. He developed severe metabolic acidosis and septic shock immediately after the operation. His life was successfully saved by administration of acetated Ringer's solution, dopamin, and antibiotics. It should be kept in mind that a hepatic resection for an inflammatory liver tumor can cause metabolic acidosis after surgery, if the patient has risk factors including diabetes mellitus, intraoperative hypotension, and septicemia.
