[Case of Acute Pancreatitis during Eribulin Mesilate Therapy for Metastasis of Breast Cancer].

We report the case of a 46-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with Stage Ⅳ right breast cancer, cT1cN1M1(ovarian and peritoneal metastases). We administered bevacizumab+paclitaxel as the first-line treatment. In the 13th course, the peritoneal dissemination progressed, and the regimen was changed to eribulin(1.4 mg/m2)as the second-line treatment. During the second course, abdominal distension developed and was resolved during follow-up. However, abdominal distension and pain were observed from day 9 of the fourth course. Based on the results of blood chemistry and CT scans, she was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis(CT Grade 1)and was admitted to the hospital. After fasting and fluid replacement therapy, her clinical symptoms and laboratory data improved, and was discharged from the hospital 8 days later. She had no history of excessive alcohol consumption and no evidence of biliary disease, and was considered having eribulin-induced pancreatitis.
