[A Case of Pancreatic Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma]

A 69-year-old woman underwent right nephrectomy for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Nine years later, a 2 cm, solitary tumor was detected in the pancreas tail using computed tomography, and the patient underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. The pathological diagnosis was metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. A year later, a new tumor was confirmed in the pancreas head on a follow-upCT scan. Nine years after the resection of the pancreatic metastasis, the pancreas head tumor had increased in size. It was determined to be renal cell carcinoma metastasis, but the patient remains alive and well 20 years after the initial resection.
