[A Case of Double Cancer of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Gastric Carcinoma with Difficult Diagnosis of the Primary Tumor with Peritoneal Metastasis].

Double cancer of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gastric cancer is rare. A 62-year-old man underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The pathological findings were tub1>tub2, m, ly0, v0, n0, Stage I A. Two years and a month later, a liver tumor(diameter of 3 cm)and a pelvic mass(diameter of 2.5 cm)were observed. Metastasis from gastric cancer was suspected and chemotherapy(SOX)was administered. However, after 5 courses, CT revealed worseningof the liver tumor (diameter of 12 cm)and pelvic mass(diameter of 3 cm). Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and its peritoneal metastasis were also suspected. There was a limit to treatment with chemotherapy, and it was difficult to judge whether to target gastric cancer or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma for chemotherapy. In addition, the lesions were localized in the right lobe of the liver and the pelvis. Therefore, we decided to perform resection. As a second-stage operation, pelvic mass extraction and portal vein embolization were performed first. The pathological result of the pelvic mass assessment was mucinous carcinoma. Subsequently, expansive right hepatectomy was performed. The pathological findings were also suggestive of mucinous carcinoma, which was finally diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and peritoneal dissemination. Six months after the surgery, several recurrent nodules were observed in the pelvis and GEM plus CDDP was initiated. Currently, 1 year after surgery, there are no restrictions in the activities of daily life of the patient and he is treated on an outpatient basis.
