[A Case of Multiple Lymph Node Metastases Treated with Nivolumab after an Adrenalectomy for Solitary Adrenal Metastasis of Gastric Cancer after a Gastrectomy].

A 69-year-old man was hospitalized for gastric cancer. He underwent total gastrectomy with distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and cholecystectomy. Pathological staging was pT3N3aM0 and Stage ⅢB. Adjuvant chemotherapy(S-1)was administered postoperatively. Ten months later, left adrenal metastasis was detected on computed tomography(CT)scans. He was then treated with 4 courses of chemotherapy with SOX therapy and 2 courses of PTX plus RAM therapy for the left adrenal metastasis. However, the tumor size increased. He underwent adrenalectomy with left nephrectomy and partial resection of the transverse colon for the solitary adrenal metastasis. His pathological diagnosis was metastatic carcinoma of the left adrenal gland and lymph nodes, which invaded the left renal vein and originated from gastric carcinoma. Three months after the adrenalectomy, CT scans identified paraaortic, porta hepatis, and left supraclavicular lymph node metastases. The patient was continuously treated with nivolumab, for 20 courses, and is doing well with good PS. Adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastasis of gastric cancer very rarely occurs. We report a case of multiple lymph node metastases treated with nivolumab after an adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastasis of gastric cancer after a gastrectomy.
