We describe a rare case of a 64-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma with lymph node and bone metastases who developed pseudocirrhosis. Initial examination revealed a hepatic disorder of unknown cause with narrowing of the portal vein and a low-density area surrounding the portal veins in computed tomography (CT) imaging. Diffuse liver metastasis was diagnosed after percutaneous liver biopsy. During chemotherapy, liver atrophy and irregular liver surface appearance were confirmed with CT. Eventually, the disease progressed to death, and an autopsy was performed. The autopsy demonstrated exacerbation of diffuse liver metastases and cirrhosis-like findings.
