Resectable pancreatic metastasis of left thighbone leiomyosarcoma: case report and literature review.

INTRODUCTION

Metastases to the pancreas gland are uncommon, especially from leiomyosarcoma. We report a case of asymptomatic pancreatic metastasis resection of leiomyosarcoma.

CASE REPORT

A 59-year-old patient was treated for thighbone leiomyosarcoma, with surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. After 4 years of follow-up, although that patient was asymptomatic, a pancreatic metastasis was identified by CT and fine needle aspiration. Open left pancreatectomy was performed.

DISCUSSION

We discuss diagnosis findings and interest in the surgical resection. Furthermore, we reviewed previously reported cases.
