Abstract

A 70-year-old female diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was treated by pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) and adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 5-fluorouracil. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma pT3N0 (stage IIA) was pathologically confirmed. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) findings 14 months after PPPD showed 10 mm sized solitary liver metastasis in segment 3. After 12 cycles of gemcitabine and 9 cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin, the metastatic nodule increased in size to 27 mm. Tumorectomy at segment 3 of liver was done. 25 months after tumorectomy, chest CT showed 23 mm sized cavitary nodule in right upper lobe of lung. The result of percutaneous biopsy favored metastatic adenocarcinoma. Two sets of stereotactic body radiation therapy were done and the patient has survived without further disease progression for 6 years after initial diagnosis. This case suggests that selected population of recurrent pancreatic cancer patients with solitary liver or pulmonary metastasis can be treated by resection of metastatic site and ablative therapies.

췌장암으로 진단된 70세 여자 환자가 유문보존 췌십이지장 절제술 및 5-fluorouracil 동시항암화학요법으로 치료받았다. 수술 후 병리학적으로 pT3N0 (stage IIA)의 췌장선암이 확진되었다. 14개월 뒤 복부 전산화단층촬영에서 10 mm 크기의 단일 간 재발 병소가 간 3번 분엽에서 발견되었다. Gemcitabine 12주기 및 capecitabine plus oxaliplatin 9주기 항암치료를 시행했으나 전이병소는 27mm로 크기가 증가하였다. 이에 간 3번 분엽의 종양절제술을 시행하였다. 종양절제술 시행 25개월 뒤 흉부 전산화단층촬영에서 23 mm 크기의 단일 공동성 폐결절이 발견되었고, 조직검사에서 전이성 선암으로 확인되었다. 환자는 두 차례의 정위적 체부 방사선 치료 후 질병의 진행 없이 진단 후 6년 이상 장기 생존 중이다. 본 증례를 통해 수술 후 단일 간 전이 혹은 폐 전이가 발견된 일부 환자들에서 수술적 절제를 비롯한 국소 치료가 장기생존에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
