[A case of port site recurrence after thoracoscopic resection for lung metastasis of cecal cancer].

We experienced a case of port site recurrence after thoracoscopic resection for lung metastasis of cecal cancer. The patient was a 57-year-old woman who underwent right hemicolectomy at the age of 51 following a diagnosis of cecal carcinoma. She underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery for pulmonary metastasis 2 years after the first surgery. She underwent local resection for a retroperitoneal pelvic wall recurrence 3.5 years after the first surgery. Chest wall port site recurrence occurred 5.5 years after the first surgery, and she underwent partial resection of the left lung and chest wall. Subsequent treatment has been performed with adjuvant chemotherapy, and she is healthy with no evidence of recurrence 7 years and 11 months after the initial surgery. In this case, a good prognosis was obtained by frequent local resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for metachronous multiple metastases.
