Abstract:
A 68-year-old male patient underwent laparoscopic pyloric gastrectomy(D2)in October 2015 for gastric cancer, pStage ⅠB. In August 2017, a 3 cm large abdominal wall metastasis in the left lateral abdomen was removed. In September 2019, a 2 cm tumor was found in the left inguinal region. The left inguinal area was repaired using mesh with the TAPP technique because of a large abdominal wall defect centered on the inner inguinal ring. Three and a half years after the resection, he is continuing complete response(CR)with nivolumab therapy.
