Metachronous colorectal liver metastasis that occurred 10 years after laparoscopic colectomy: a case report

Abstract Background Delayed onset of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) > 5 years after primary colorectal surgery is rare. Herein, we report a case of delayed-onset CRLM that occurred 10 years after primary surgery, for which laparoscopic hepatectomy was performed. Case presentation A 68-year-ol...

description Abstract Background Delayed onset of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) > 5 years after primary colorectal surgery is rare. Herein, we report a case of delayed-onset CRLM that occurred 10 years after primary surgery, for which laparoscopic hepatectomy was performed. Case presentation A 68-year-old man was admitted to the hospital. His medical history revealed double colon cancer detected 10 years ago, for which laparoscopic colectomy was performed. The pathological tumor–node–metastasis stages were stages I and II. Thereafter, oral floor cancer occurred 7 years after the primary surgery and was curatively resected. The annual follow-up with positron emission tomography–computed tomography (CT) identified a tumor at segment 7/8 (S7/8) of the liver with an abnormal accumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose. Dynamic CT showed a 23-mm tumor, with ring enhancement in the early phase. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium–ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid demonstrated that the tumor had high intensity in T2 weighted sequences and low intensity in the hepatobiliary phase. With a preoperative diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or delayed liver metastasis, laparoscopic S7/8 partial resection was performed. The operative time was 324 min, and the intraoperative bleeding volume was 35 mL. The patient was discharged on day 15 without any postoperative complications. Upon histopathological examination, the final diagnosis was CRLM. The patient has survived for 1 year without any recurrence. Conclusions It is important to pay attention to the occurrence of delayed-metachronous CRLM.
