Abstract:
The patient was a 17-year-old woman. An abnormal urinalysis was observed, and abdominal echography showed a pancreatic cystic mass. At the first examination, computed tomography(CT)and endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)showed a unilocular cystic mass of 60mm in size in the pancreatic body and tail, and no malignant findings were observed. After 14 months, CT and positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PET-CT)showed that the cystic mass had a mural nodule with FDG accumulation, and presence of a tumor in hepatic S8 with FDG accumulation. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and hepatic subsegmentectomy of S8 were performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The pathological diagnosis was mucinous cystadenocarcinoma(MCC)and metastatic liver cancer in the form of MCC. S-1 was administered after surgery. Nine months after resection, multiple metastatic liver tumors were found, and GEM plus nab-PTX was administered. After 2 courses of treatment, the patient is still alive without new lesions.
