  • Title: Pelvic metastases from pancreatic carcinoma: a pattern observed on bone scan.
    Author: Lyons JD, Alibazoglu B, Harris JE, Ali A, Hollinger EF.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2001 Mar; 26(3):230-1. PubMed ID: 11245116.
    Abstract:
    Metastases to the bony pelvis is an unusual pattern of the spread of primary pancreatic tumors. The authors report the presence of metastatic disease in the bony pelvis observed on bone scans in several patients who had been treated recently for pancreatic carcinoma. When bone scans that show metastatic disease in the pelvis are evaluated in patients with unknown primaries, the diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma should be considered.
