Abstract

We report a case of a 67-year-old woman who was admitted following the discovery of a mass lesion in the pancreas on abdominal ultrasonography. The patient had undergone right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 11 years previously, and bilateral partial lobectomy of lung for metastasis tumor from RCC 7 years ago. Abdominal echo showed hypervascular masses in the pancreatic body that were mostly probably metastatic lesions from RCC. She underwent a distal pancreatectomy. Histological examination of the specimen revealed metastatic tumor from RCC, which was diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma. She has been treated by IL-2 for recurrent lung lesion and has been living for 25 months after the operation with no evidence of metastasis. For a patient with hypervascular mass who has undergone surgery for RCC previously, we should consider that it might be metastasis from RCC. It takes a long time after surgery for RCC for pancreatic metastasis to occur therefore a long period of observation is neaded. It is suggested that aggressive surgery for metastatic pancreatic tumor from RCC would be a favorable option.
