We experienced a case of pseudocirrhosis that occurred during treatment for diffuse liver metastases from breast cancer. Pseudocirrhosis is often caused by diffuse hepatic cancer cell infiltration; however, in this case, it still occurred despite chemotherapy being effective. The shrinkage of liver metastases and subsequent scarring around them causes liver capsule regression, resulting in pseudocirrhotic changes.

During this time, the liver metastases maintained a near-complete response.
