Abstract
- Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma(UPS)is a non-epithelial malignant tumor with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. The frequent metastasis site is lung, lymph node, liver and bone. Pancreatic metastasis is rare. 71-year-old woman whose course after right foot UPS resection had been followed up at our hospital. But multiple bone and muscle metastasis occurred 1 year after operation. She had resection or radiation for the recurrence. 3 years after the first operation, PET-CT and EUS-FNA revealed pancreatic tail metastasis. The tumor grew up in 6 months, so we performed laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on post-operative day 14. Currently 5 years and 6 months have passed since the first surgery and she is alive. Function-preserving and minimally invasive surgery for UPS pancreatic metastasis is considered to be essential.
