Introduction: Treatment of non-colorectal non-neuroendocrine (NCRNNE) liver metastases is controversial. This study analyses the surgical approach to this pathology in a third level hospital. Material and Methods: Sociodemographic variables, primary tumor and metastatic disease characteristics, variables linked to the treatment and Adam score have been evaluated as possible prognosis factors. Results: Twenty patients were included, 50% of each sex. The most common primary tumors were ductal carcinoma of the breast and GIST. Fifty percent of patients were treated with major hepatectomy. There were 30% of postoperative complications without deaths. The one-year survival rate after hepatectomy was 85% whereas the threeand five-year survival rates were 55% and 20%. There were no statistically significant differences in survival according to the analyzed variables. Conclusion: Further studies are necessary to achieve a better knowledge of survival predictive factors to select those patients that can benefit from surgery.
