Metachronous Pancreatic Metastasis of Myxoid Liposarcoma Successfully Treated With Robotic Spleen-Preserving Distal Pancreatectomy With Splenic Vessels Resections: A Case Report.

Pancreatic metastasis of myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) after primary resection is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of metachronous pancreatic metastasis of MLS that was successfully treated with robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) using the Warshaw technique. A 60-year-old woman underwent radical resection of a 25-cm MLS in the right thigh after receiving neoadjuvant radiotherapy. The patient developed a 6-cm solitary pancreatic metastasis of the MLS 2 years later. Because no other distant metastases were detected, robotic SPDP (Warshaw technique) was performed. The operative time was 140 min with minimal blood loss. Follow-up at 3 months showed no recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of metachronous pancreatic metastasis of MLS successfully treated with robotic SPDP. Curative resection using minimally invasive surgery should be performed for solitary pancreatic metastases from MLS.
