“…Concerning lung metastases, there have been few cases in which pulmonary resections for metastases from cancer of Ampulla duodeni have been summarized ( Table 1). [4][5][6][7][8] For metastatic colorectal carcinoma, a complete resection can offer the only chance of cure. Long-term survival can be expected after complete resection of pulmonary metastases arising from colorectal cancer, especially in patients with solitary metastasis.…”

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 (PD) with lymphadenectomy. PD 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 long-term survival.Keywords: cancer of the ampulla duodeni, papilla of Vater carcinoma, pulmonary metastases, pericardial cyst
