[A Case of Recurrent Rectal Cancer with Adrenal and Lung Metastasis with More than Ten-Year Survival after Surgery].

A 60-year-old man underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Histological findings indicated well-differentiated adenocarcinoma(T3[SS]N1M0, ly3, v2, Stage III a). Two years and 1 month later, right adrenalectomy was performed for solitary adrenal metastasis. Three months thereafter, left partial pulmonary resection was performed for a metastatic lung tumor. All resected specimens showed metastatic adenocarcinoma derived from the rectal cancer. The patient is alive and well without recurrence for more than 10years after lung resection. Given that adrenal metastasis is usually found as widespread metastasis, aggressive resection of well-controlled metastatic lesions including those in the adrenal glands is recommended.
