Abdominal Wall Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer

We report the case of a 65-year-old male with a metachronous abdominal wall metastasis secondary to colorectal cancer. The patient had presented 5 years ago to another facility with a perforated sigmoid colon cancer (pT4a[SE], N0, M0, pStage II), rectal cancer (T2[MP], N0, M0, pStage I), and Fournier gangrene. He had then undergone sigmoidectomy and rectal resection along with S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy. No relapse was observed thereafter. However, currently, 5 years after initial surgery, the patient noticed a palpable mass in the left lower abdomen and was referred to our hospital for further assessment and treatment. Percutaneous echo-guided needle biopsy of the tumor revealed an adenocarcinoma tissue. Following 6 courses of FOLFOX plus cetuximab chemotherapy, laparoscopic resection for abdominal wall metastasis was successfully performed. The resected tissue was pathologically characterized as adenocarcinoma, which was compatible with the recurrence of the primary colorectal carcinoma resected 5 years ago. The abdominal wall metastasis was attributed to the cancer cell implantation secondary to the perforated sigmoid colon cancer treated 5 years ago.

Surgical Drain

In cancer care, tissue seeding after curative resections is a known potential complication, despite precautions taken during surgical treatment. We present an uncommon case of an abdominal wall metastasis along the tract of a surgical drain following gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of such an occurrence in the setting of a negative staging peritoneal lavage. Aside from the rarity of such a recurrence, this instance highlights an opportunity to reevaluate best practices with regard to the extent of coverage of postoperative salvage radiotherapy. The oncologic patient provides many challenges and may require multiple catheters for drainage and at times infusion of nutrition or therapeutic agents. These foreign bodies should be scrutinized both clinically and radiographically, as they may create vulnerabilities in keeping malignant diseases contained and controlled. We provide a review of the literature with reasonable treatment options for the benefit of future patients.
