Abstract

Metastatic melanoma to the pancreas has been observed infrequently, and the presence of a thrombus in the splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein has rarely been seen for metastatic melanoma. We present the CT and MRI findings of a case of metastatic melanoma to the pancreas, which presented with diffuse multiple pancreatic metastatic nodules and a venous thrombus.
