Abstract
- Lung cancer frequently metastasizes to distant organs. However, solitary metastasis to the pancreas, with lung cancer as the source, is very rare. Most metastatic cases of the pancreas tend to be discovered in patients with widely disseminated malignant disease. In addition, patients with pancreatic metastases are often asymptomatic, the metastatic lesions are found incidentally, and are misdiagnosed as primary pancreatic tumors. We described the case of a 63-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and a pancreatic nodule. The patient underwent resection of primary lung cancer followed by pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. The pancreatic nodule was confirmed as a solitary metastasis from lung cancer.
