Abstrakt: A 76-year-old woman with lower bile duct carcinoma underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD)after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainages(PTBD). Nine months after the operation, chest computed tomography revealed a mass in the subcutis of the right chest wall, which was a different lesion from that in the PTBD site. The aspiration biopsy cytology and needle biopsy indicated no malignant findings. However, the mass was growing and was suspected to be a metastasis of bile duct cancer. We resected the mass, including portions of the sixth and seventh ribs. The pathological diagnosis was metastasis of bile duct carcinoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. Now, 2 years have passed since the resection of the primary lesion and 9 months since the resection of the chest wall metastasis. Thus far, no manifestations of recurrence have been observed, and the patient has been in a favorable condition. We report this case with a literature review.
