title: [A case of lymph node metastasis after 7 years from Hartmann's operation for stage IV sigmoid colon carcinoma].
abstract: The case was a 49-year-old woman. In 1995, she underwent Hartmann's operation for sigmoid colon carcinoma. Histological stage was IV [se, n4(+), P0, H0, M(-)]. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed by MMC and 5'-DFUR. After 7 years from the surgery, she had a lumbar pain. CT examination revealed a retroperitoneal tumor-like shadow and Para-aortic lymph nodes were swelling. In 2002, she underwent probe laparotomy. There were massive lymph nodes metastasis, and tumor resection was impossible. Following several systemic chemotherapies such as UFT/CPT-11 and TS-1, the tumor progressed and liver metastasis appeared. After 9 years from the first operation, she is still able to eat and her performance status is 1.
