Metachronous liver metastasis from a solid pseduopapillary pancreas tumor

Abstract

Case presentation. A 32-year-old woman consulted for abdominal pain in the epigastrium not associated with meals. She had a history of distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation due to a tumor in the tail of the pancreas five years earlier. Physical examination showed no abnormalities and imaging studies were performed during his approach. Treatment. Computed axial tomography revealed a lesion in the left lateral segment of the liver with characteristics suggestive of metastasis due to his surgical history. Laboratory tests and tumor markers were within normal limits. It was evaluated in a multidisciplinary conference, and a surgical approach was recommended. A left hepatectomy was performed with an uncomplicated postoperative evolution. Outcome. Six months postoperatively, there was no evidence of active or residual disease.
