The frequency of pancreatic metastases ranges from 2% to 5%. Pancreas is an elective site for metastases from renal carcinoma. Pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma are frequently the only metastatic site and they typically occur in the seventh decade of life.

We report 1 female patient (aged 58 years) with multifocal and isolated pancreatic metastases of renal cell carcinoma. Total duodenopancreatectomy was performed.
