A 43 year-old-woman had an operation of breast preserving surgery for right breast cancer in a previous hospital. The diagnosis of right breast cancer was ductal carcinoma in situ（DCIS） by pathological examination. Two years and eight months after the surgery, she had a liver tumor revealed by abdominal ultrasound. The liver tumor was suspected as metachronous liver metastasis of breast cancer, based on examination by core needle biopsies. The patient underwent partial resection of the liver（S2, 3）. We report a case of hepatectomy for metachronous solitary liver metastasis of DCIS subsequent to breast preserving surgery, with a review of the literature.
