We report the successful resection of recurrent tumors, including brain metastasis, in a patient with StageIV rectal cancer. A 29-year-old female patient was admitted with lower abdominal pain to the gynecological department in April 2005. The patient underwent emergency surgery following the diagnosis of left ovarian torsion. She was transferred to the Department of Surgery with suspected rectal cancer based on a pathological diagnosis of a Krukenberg's tumor. She underwent surgery for local advanced cancer using high anterior resection, hysterectomy, right oophorectomy, partial ileal resection, and appendectomy. In September 2007, she underwent very low anterior resection for an anastomotic recurrence. The patient then received 6 courses of modified 5-fluorouracil Leucovorin oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) as adjuvant chemotherapy. In March 2009, left paresis was observed. She underwent tumor resection and g-knife radiosurgery for brain metastasis in the right temporal lobe. In December 2009, metastasis in the right rectal muscle was resected following diagnosis by computed tomography (CT). In September 2013, she underwent further surgical resection of a tumor recurrence in the right rectal muscle. The pathological diagnosis of each resected tumor was metastatic rectal cancer. The patient has been disease-free since the last operation.
