Key result
Radical surgery for solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma resulted in 12 months of disease-free survival before primary site recurrence, and 22 months after subsequent resection.
Why the study?
Myxoid liposarcoma has a distinct migration aptitude, but pancreatic metastasis is rare.

May support individualized resection for rare solitary pancreatic metastases; leaves open need for prospective data on survival benefit.
BACKGROUND: Myxoid liposarcoma has a distinct migration aptitude; however, pancreatic metastasis is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on the case of a 40-year-old female patient who suffered solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma and had a right thigh myxoid liposarcoma radical resection 5 years ago. The patient underwent a medial pancreatectomy and pancreaticojejunostomy for solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma. After 12 months of disease-free survival, the patient underwent an extended radical resection for the recurrence of the right thigh primary myxoid liposarcoma and received postoperative radiotherapy. Currently, the disease-free survival time after the last operation has been 22 months. CONCLUSIONS: We reviewed the relevant literature and suggest that radical surgery might result in a good prognosis for patients with solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma.

Wang et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Solitary pancreatic metastasis of extremity myxoid liposarcoma (n=1). Medial pancreatectomy and pancreaticojejunostomy was evaluated on Disease-free survival. Radical surgery for solitary pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma resulted in 12 months of disease-free survival before primary site recurrence, and 22 months after subsequent resection.
