Abstract

A 70's woman with a history of abdominal surgery for gastric cancer visited our hospital for the evaluation of bleeding during defecation.We diagnosed her with advanced rectal cancer and performed laparoscopic low anterior resection.As postoperative pathological staging was pT3N2M0, pStage III b, we included CapeOx therapy as adjuvant chemotherapy.One year and 4 months after the surgery, lung and liver metastases were revealed by CT and PET-CT scans.At the same time, dilatation of the main pancreatic duct(intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm: IPMN)was detected.Thus, we first performed liver resection and then lung resection.After the surgery, new lung nodules and a mass lesion with IPMN with superior mesenteric venous invasion was found on CT scans.We then administered chemo-radiation therapy(CRT).After CRT, the lung and pancreatic lesions seemed to decrease slightly.Accidentally, a nodule on the cystic bladder was found, resected by transurethral resection of the bladder tumor(TUR-Bt), and diagnosed as a bladder cancer.Thirty months after the rectal surgery, she is continuing the S-1 chemotherapy with stable disease.
