Liver metastasis 13 years after the resection of a malignant triton tumor originating in the duodenum.

This is an additional case report of a malignant triton tumor arising in the duodenum that was removed by pancreatoduodenectomy. Liver and gallbladder dysfunctions were detected in a regular blood examination during a follow-up for hypertension in a 62-year-old woman with a previous surgical history for a malignant Triton tumor in the duodenum 13 years ago. Further examinations revealed a metastatic liver tumor originating from the malignant triton tumor in the duodenum. Since the progression of the liver tumor was detected after radiation therapy, complete resection was performed by right hepatectomy. Curative hepatectomy resulted in disease-free survival for 1 year and 5 months in an extremely rare case of liver metastasis derived from a malignant triton tumor in the duodenum.
