Abstract
We present a 76-year-old man who underwent two lung resections for metastases originating from cancer of the Ampulla duodeni, 9 years-after pancreaticoduodenectomy with lymphadenectomy. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 2002; histological examination of the original tumor revealed a stage III tubular adenocarcinoma (pT3, N0, M0). Repetitive lung resection was performed in 2007 (left S8) and 2011 (right S1 and extirpation of a pericardial cyst). Although rarely performed, resection of bilateral pulmonary metastases from carcinoma of the papilla of Vater was done to improve the patient's chances for longterm survival.
