Abstract:

In spite of debates, minimally invasive radical distal pancreatosplenectomy is carefully thought to be safe and effective in well selected left-sided pancreatic cancer. Several significant literatures are demonstrating that it can result in comparable oncologic outcomes of conventional open distal pancreatectomy. It is general that patients with resected pancreatic cancer experience systemic metastasis; however, cutaneous metastasis of resected pancreatic cancer is reported to be rare. Here, we report extremely rare case of isolated drain-site metastasis of resected left-sided pancreatic cancer.
