  • Title: Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma 13 years after a nephrectomy: report of a case.
    Author: Kato D, Abe Y, Nishihara K, Katsumoto F, Tamae K, Mitsuyama S.
    Journal: Int Surg; 2007; 92(4):230-4. PubMed ID: 18050834.
    Abstract:
    The pancreas is an uncommon site of metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. We herein present the case of a 59-year-old woman in whom pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, found 13 years after undergoing a nephrectomy, was successfully resected and who has since showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. The efficacy of performing a pancreatectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is also presented. We recommend careful long-term follow-up in patients with a history of renal cell carcinoma. Imaging modalities should be used during the routine follow-up to detect any asymptomatic metastases at an early stage.
