Abstract

Apart from the common colorectal carcinoma (CRC) metastases, malignancies that relatively often metastasize to the liver include small cell carcinoma of the lung, breast cancers, thyroid carcinoma of various types, gastric cancer, malignant melanoma of the skin and eye, and cancers of the genitourinary tract. In addition to the type, anatomic location, and local stage of a malignancy, its differentiation grade markedly influences propensity to metastasize to the liver. As in CRC, molecular and in particular genomic features will in the future be important means to predict metastatic disease. There is a large group of malignancies that metastasize to the liver less commonly than CRC and the cancers listed above. They mainly comprise squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and mucous membranes, ovarian carcinomas, and salivary gland tumors. Almost any type of sarcoma can metastasize to the liver, but hepatic sarcoma metastasis is generally less common than that of carcinomas. Very rarely, meningeal tumors and neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS) produce liver metastases, sometimes via a shunt. A challenging group of hepatic metastases are those without, or not yet, identifiable primary tumor (cancer of unknown primary location, CUPL).
