Abstract:
A 48-year-old female visited former doctor with abdominal pain and bloating. She was suspected of having pancreatic tumor and referred to our hospital. Abdominal dynamic CT showed multilocular cystic tumor in the pancreatic tail, and chest CT showed multiple lung nodules. From these findings, the patient was diagnosed mucinous cystic carcinoma(MCC)with lung metastases. We performed distal pancreatectomy for the first and lung resection after pancreatectomy. After all, the pathological diagnosis was MCC and metastatic lung cancer from the MCC. The adjuvant chemotherapy was not performed. Eleven months after pancreatectomy and 6 months after lung resection, the patient is still alive without recurrence.
