Abstract:
Metastases to the pancreas and peripancreatic lymph nodes (PPLN) are unusual. Metastatic involvement of the PPLN without biliary obstruction, from a primary breast cancer has been published in only a single case in literature. We report the first metastatic breast cancer patient with PPLN deposit, presenting with obstructive jaundice.
