Solitary pancreatic metastasis of extremity myxoid liposarcoma: a case report and literature review.

BMC Cancer 2018 November 17
BACKGROUND: Myxoid liposarcoma has a distinct migration aptitude; however, pancreatic metastasis is rare.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report on the case of a 40-year-old female patient who suffered solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma and had a right thigh myxoid liposarcoma radical resection 5 years ago. The patient underwent a medial pancreatectomy and pancreaticojejunostomy for solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma. After 12 months of disease-free survival, the patient underwent an extended radical resection for the recurrence of the right thigh primary myxoid liposarcoma and received postoperative radiotherapy. Currently, the disease-free survival time after the last operation has been 22 months.

CONCLUSIONS: We reviewed the relevant literature and suggest that radical surgery might result in a good prognosis for patients with solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma.
