Abstract

The patient was a 71-year-old man with a diagnosis of duodenal carcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography(CT) showed no distant metastasis, and he underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was not administered. A left supraclavicular lymph node recurrence was detected on CT 15 months after surgery. Capecitabine and oxaliplatin(CAPOX)therapy was administered and the metastatic lesion shrank. Positron emission tomography(PET)-CT showed no lesions at other sites and left cervical lymph node dissection was performed 5 months after the recurrence. Postoperative adjuvant therapy with S-1 was administered for 6 months. However, 2 years and 10 months after the first recurrence, CT showed recurrence in the left supraclavicular lymph node. CAPOX therapy was resumed, but due to an allergic reaction to oxaliplatin, the patient was treated with capecitabine alone. The recurrent lesion was gradually increased in size, and FOLFIRI therapy was introduced. One year and 5 months after secondary recurrence, PET-CT showed that the second recurrent lesion had grown but was confined to the left supraclavicular lymph node, so radiation therapy(60 Gy)to the left neck was performed. The disease was stable for about 10 months and chemotherapy could be discontinued. The lesion increased in size thereafter, and the patient died 7 years after initial surgery.
