Pancreaticoduodenectomy for metastatic colonic cancer--report of two cases.

ABSTRACT

Benefit of resection of metastatic lesions to the liver and lung from colonic cancer is well established. Resection of solitary metastasis or of locally recurrent malignancies in the periampullary region has now become the norm, as it increases survival. We present our experience with two patients with metastases in the periampullary region from previously treated colonic carcinoma who were treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
