[A Case of Peritoneal Metastases after Radiofrequency Ablation for Liver Metastasis from a Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor].

A 77-year-old woman presented with peritoneal metastases from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor(p-NET). At the age of 56 years, she underwent distal pancreatectomy for p-NET, which was pathologically diagnosed as G2. She underwent right hemihepatectomy for liver metastasis(S6)from the p-NET 10 years post-pancreatectomy. Eight years post-hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation(RFA)was attempted for liver metastasis(S4)from the p-NET. However, RFA was not completed because of hematoma development along the needle tract of RFA. She underwent partial hepatectomy for this lesion 6 months post-RFA. Two years post-RFA, localized peritoneal metastases on the right diaphragm were detected. She underwent en bloc tumor resection with partial resection of the diaphragm. She remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 2 years post-resection of the peritoneal metastases from the p-NET.
