Popis: An 80-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of jaundice and fatigue. Abdominal computed tomography(CT) scan revealed an extrahepatic bile duct tumor, and biliary cytology detected adenocarcinoma; therefore, subtotal stomachpreserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Histological analysis showed that the tumor was a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma without lymph node metastasis. Two years after the initial surgery, blood examination detected an elevated serum CA19-9 level and submucosal tumor which is 2.5 cm diameter with an ulcer at the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. Tumor biopsy was performed, and histological analysis revealed a recurrent cholangiocarcinoma. The tumor directly invaded the transverse colon mesentery; therefore, distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy were performed. The patient survived 12 months postoperatively without recurrence. Gastric metastasis from cholangiocarcinoma rarely occurs. Intraoperative exposure of bile juice may have caused gastric metastasis in this case.
