Skeletal muscle metastasis from pancreatic cancer is rare. We present a 72-year-old female patient with unresectable pancreatic tail cancer. Fifteen months after the introduction of the chemoradiotherapy, an 18-mm elastic hard tumor was found in her right chest wall and resected after confirmation of no other metastatic lesions. Postoperative pathological examination diagnosed it as a muscle metastasis from the pancreatic cancer, and the patient has since been continuing chemotherapy for 10 months. A review of the literature regarding skeletal muscle metastasis from pancreatic cancer is also presented.
胰腺癌的骨骼肌转移很少见。我们报告一例72岁女性不可切除胰尾癌患者。放化疗开始15个月后,在其右胸壁发现一个18毫米的弹性硬肿块,在确认无其他转移病灶后将其切除。术后病理检查诊断为胰腺癌的肌肉转移,此后该患者持续化疗10个月。本文还对胰腺癌骨骼肌转移的相关文献进行了综述。
