[Esophagogastric Junction Cancer Resection with Bilateral Adrenal Metastasis - A Case Report].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2017 November
The patient was a 64-year-old man with esophagogastric junction cancer. We performed right thoracotomy-laparotomy for lower esophageal and cardiac gastric resection, D2 lymphadenectomy, and reconstruction of a gastric tube in October 2011. Histopathology confirmed T4aN1M1(LYM), Stage IV cancer(Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma, 14th edition) with R0 resection. Because of preexisting alcoholic cirrhosis, postoperative chemotherapy was not an option. In March 2014, we performed left adrenalectomy for left adrenal metastasis, and in December 2014, we performed right adrenalectomy for metastasis to the right adrenal gland. The patient was prescribed 20mg/day of hydrocortisone postoperatively. Survival from the right adrenalectomy was 2 years and 2 months, and survival from the first operation was 5 years and 4 months, without recurrence. This case of esophagogastric junction cancer resection with bilateral adrenal metastasis is rare, with only one previously reported case in Japan.
