A pancreatic mass is mostly discovered late in the course of the disease and is usually asymptomatic in the early stages. In rare cases, a pancreatic mass may be metastatic, and presentation may depend on the presence and locations of other metastasis or to the primary lesion. Renal cell cancer is the most common tumor presenting as metastatic pancreatic mass. Most metastases occur within the first ten years after diagnosis. We present a case of metastatic renal cell cancer to the contralateral adrenal and pancreas causing pancreatic duct dilation, 15 years after radical nephrectomy.
Keywords: metastatic pancreatic mass; pancreatic duct dilation; pancreatic mass; renal cell cancer metastasis; secondary pancreatic neoplasm.
