Abstract

Pancreas metastasis of primary lung cancer is known to be very rare and if it occurs, most cases are disseminated malignant status and do not affect therapeutic plan. We experienced a case of lung cancer recurrence with solitary pancreas metastasis and mimicks primary pancreatic cancer. A 54-year old man was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation of pancreatic solitary mass. He underwent left pneumonectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for treatment of lung adenocarcinoma 3 years ago. After surgical treatment, the lesion was confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung cancer origin. He was discharged and followed up for 24 months without recurrence.
