Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon malignant tumor of the pancreas and it remains unclear how best to treat such tumors, especially at an advanced stage or after disease relapse. We report a 15-year survivor after successful resection of locally advanced ACC of the pancreatic head with en bloc resection of the common hepatic artery. Nine years after surgery, she developed massive bloody ascites containing many cancer cells of acinar cell origin. A volume of 2,000 mL of ascites was aspirated and 20 mg of cisplatin was injected into the peritoneal cavity biweekly. After this treatment had been repeated four times at our outpatient clinic, the ascites disappeared without the appearance of any adverse side effects. The patient was alive 6 years after chemotherapy and had shown no signs of disease relapse. These observations suggested that pancreatic ACC may be very sensitive to cisplatin, if it can efficiently reach the cancer cells. Intraperitoneal cisplatin administration is, therefore, worth performing for treatment of the peritoneal seeding ACC. Acinar cell carcinomas of the pancreas are uncommon neoplasms, accounting for 1–2% of all cases of exocrine pancreatic tumors (1). The overall 5-year survival rate was reported to be as low as 6% by Klimstra and 0% by Cubilla (2,3), and no optimal treatment strategy for ACC has yet been determined. The liver is the most common site of distant metastasis from pancreatic ACC. Some recent reports suggested a good response rate of liver metastases of ACC to intra-arterial chemotherapy with a combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP) (4,5). Peritoneal spreading is less common than liver metastasis in pancreatic ACC, and there have been no previous reports of active or successful treatment for this condition. However, we report a case in which peritoneal carcinomatosis had once developed after resection of primary pancreatic ACC but it was successfully cured by an intraperitoneal administration of CDDP. These findings have important implications for the future of ACC treatment, especially at advanced stages or after cancer recurrence.
