[A Case of Splenic Metastasis from Serous Surface Papillary Carcinoma of the Peritoneum Treated by Laparoscopic Splenectomy].

A 50-year-old woman with abdominal fullness, lower abdominal pain, elevated serum CA125, and ascites, underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 6 courses of PTX/CBDCA followed by total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and intrapelvic peritoneal stripping based on a diagnosis of serous surface papillary carcinoma(SSPC) of the peritoneum. Complete response(CR)was shown after adjuvant chemotherapy with 3 courses of the same regimen. After 6 months, serum CA125 level re-increased and abdominal CT showed small low density areas in the patient's spleen and the perisplenic fat tissue. After the additional chemotherapy with 3 courses of PTX/CBDCA were performed based on a diagnosis of metastatic lesion from SSPC, anaphylactic shock occurred as the severe adverse event. The patient was given 9 more courses of the chemotherapy changed the regimen to PTX/CDDP. The splenic metastatic lesion had grown rapidly in the followed CT and then, laparoscopic splenectomy with peritoneal resection was performed based on a diagnosis of splenic metastasis from SSPC. The pathological examinations showed the tumor to be a splenic metastasis and peritoneal dissemination from SSPC. No recurrent lesion has been detected in the 9 months since removal of the splenic metastasis without adjuvant chemotherapy and the patient has survived for 4 years and 6 months since initial treatment.
