  • Title: Prolonged survival in a patient with recurrent pulmonary metastases secondary to mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix with pseudomyxomatous peritonei.
    Author: Khan AA, Tambiah J, Cane P, Lang-Lazdunski L.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2007 May; 83(5):1893-4. PubMed ID: 17462430.
    Abstract:
    We report a 65-year-old man presenting with recurrent pulmonary metastases 20 years after an appendectomy for mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with pseudomyxomatous peritonei. He underwent bilateral staged metastatectomies for metastases 7 years after the diagnosis and further metastasectomy after a recent recurrence. This is a rare case of recurrent pulmonary metastatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, and despite poor prognosis and nondefinitive initial treatment, this patient remains alive and well 20 years later.
