Summary
Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a rare tumour. Patients commonly
present with distant metastases both at the time of
diagnosis and late in the course of disease. We present a case
of pancreatic metastasis, occurring more than six years after
diagnosis. Treatment consisted in subtotal pancreatoduodenectomy
with pylorus resection. Both specific patterns of
relapse and treatment opportunities of this uncommon feature
are discussed.
Key words: alveolar soft-part sarcoma, metastasis, pancreas,
