[A Case of Cecum Cancer with Synchronous Adrenal Solitary Metastasis].

We herein report a case of cecum cancer with synchronous adrenal solitary metastasis. A 62-year-old woman who had been treated for other disease complained of weight loss. Lower endoscopy revealed cecum cancer, and computed tomography( CT)demonstrated a solitary left adrenal tumor; thus, she was diagnosed with a metastatic tumor. We concluded that the patient was a possible candidate for surgical resection because she did not present with local metastasis other than in the adrenal glands. Ileocecal resection and left adrenalectomy were performed. The histological findings indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, which was compatible with cecum cancer. The patient was administered chemotherapy containing mFOLFOX6, and no recurrence has been detected 4 years after the surgery. Some patients who develop solitary adrenal metastasis from colonic cancer appear to be good candidates for surgery in anticipation of a good prognosis.
