<abstract language="eng">Endoscopic ultrasound guided brachytherapy (EGBT) has been reported to be useful in certain malignancies including esophageal and pancreatic cancers. Percutaneous or surgical placement of radioactive seeds into the liver secondaries (brachytherapy) has been done successfully, however, the utility of EGBT in liver metastasis remains largely unclear. In this case report, we demonstrate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of EUS guided brachytherapy (EGBT) in liver metastasis secondary to leiomyosarcoma.</abstract>
