  • Title: Pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic metastatic melanoma.
    Author: Carboni F, Graziano F, Lonardo MT, Lepiane P, Santoro R, Lorusso R, Mancini P, Santoro E.
    Journal: J Exp Clin Cancer Res; 2004 Sep; 23(3):539-43. PubMed ID: 15595647.
    Abstract:
    Isolated pancreatic metastatic melanoma is a rare occurrence. Even more rare is the surgical treatment of this lesion. However, considering the lack of effective systemic treatment and the decreasing morbidity and mortality rates of pancreatic resections in specialized centers, selected patients, especially if symptomatic, may be considered for surgical resection to achieve good palliation or improve survival. We performed a pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient with a bleeding pancreatic metastasis from cutaneous melanoma excised 10 years before and reviewed the recent literature.
