Secondary tumors of the pancreas: case reports and literature review
https://doi.org/10.18027/2224-5057-2014-2-11-23
Abstract
Introduction: Metastases in the pancreas are very rare and amount 4.5% of all tumors of the pancreas. As a rule such tumors don’t have any specific symptoms and are diagnosed spontaneously. The most frequent metastasizing to the pancreas tumor is renal cell carcinoma, then in descending order – colorectal cancer, melanoma, sarcoma and lung cancer. Prognosis is based on the histology of the primary tumor and the stage of the disease.
Case reports: This article describes cases of metastases of renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and locally advanced cases of gastric cancer and lymphoma.
Conclusion: In this article 10 cases of secondary tumors of the pancreas are presented which amounts 5,4% (10 of 184)of all tumors of the pancreas during this period. In 6 cases metastases are found and in 4 cases – local invasion. It is very important to provide differential diagnosis with primary tumors of the pancreas because treatment strategy may differ significantly. It is difficult to choose right treatment strategy in patients with such diagnosis due to its rarity.
