Abstract
- Malignant tumor occurring in the inguinal region are relatively infrequent, and metastatic tumor is extremely rare. We report a case of inguinal hernial sac metastasis of cecal cancer resected with TAPP approach. The case is a 80's man. One year and 6 months after cecal cancer surgery, contrast-enhanced computer tomography(CT)examination revealed a solitary tumor in the right inguinal canal. We diagnosed inguinal hernia sac metastasis of cecal cancer and performed surgery. The mass in the hernia sac was resected with the TAPP approach. Histopathological findings were consistent with peritoneal metastasis directly to the inguinal hernia sac. The patient has been alive without 2 years after metastasectomy. It is necessary to treat patients with a history of malignant disease with keeping the possibility of inguinal hernia sac metastasis in mind.
