Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2016 November
The patient was a 73-year-old woman who underwent distalpancreatectomy for pancreas tailcancer (T3, N0, M0, stage III ). Hepatic arterialinfusion(HAI)using high-dose 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)(6,000mg/week)was performed 35 days after curative resection to prevent liver metastases. Although chemotherapy with gemcitabine(GEM)was administered for 2 weeks, the patient was aware of a nodule(1 cm in diameter)on the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Resection of the cutaneous mass was performed and histological findings revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma from the pancreas cancer. Six courses of chemotherapy with GEM were administered as adjuvant therapy. Two years after the treatment with GEM, neurological symptoms appeared, and computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed a solitary metastatic thalamus tumor(2 cm in diameter). After stereotactic radiotherapy, the patient was transferred to a different hospitalfor physicaltherapy. Herein, we report on a case of 2 year recurrence free survivalafter the resection of a cutaneous metastasis from pancreatic cancer.
