Summary:We report a 55-year-old woman with a port site recurrence of ascending colon cancer after laparoscopic surgery. She underwent a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in 2009. On pathlogy, well differentiated adenocarcinoma pSS, n0, ly1, v1, pPM0, pDM0, pstage II was noted. After the operation, chemotherapy was given for 6 months. In 2011, tumor marker levels became elevated. PET-CT showed a hot spot in the left upper abdominal wall. A port site recurrence was diagnosed and an en bloc excision of the abdominal wall tumor was done. Currently, the patient has no recurrence.
