Long-Term Survival After Resection ofDuctal Carcinoma in the Body and Tailof Pancreas

摘要

We report on a 62-year-old male, who had resection of a large ductal carcinoma in the body and tail of thepancreas. Four months later a metastasis was removed from the abdominal scar, and 14 months later anothermetastasis was removed from the anterior wall of the stomach. Moreover, he had a left mastectomy followedby radiation therapy for a primary ductal carcinoma and a transurethral resection of the prostate because ofbenign hyperplasia. A minor focus of primary highly differentiated adenocarcinoma was found in the chips.More than 6 years later, the patient is without any signs of recurrences.
