AbstractA 74-year-old woman with a cyst in her pancreatic tail was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography confirmed a large cystic lesion with irregular wall thickening, abdominal lymph node swelling, and ascites. We diagnosed her with an unresectable mucinous cystic neoplasm, since ascites cytology revealed adenocarcinoma. The patient received chemotherapy up to the fifth line for 55.2 months. Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel and modified FOLFIRINOX achieved a partial response with a progression-free survival time of 12.1 and 20.4 months, respectively. The overall survival time from the beginning of first-line chemotherapy was 69.4 months.
