“…In such cases, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration may aid in the accurate differentiation. 10 MTPs may occur after a prolonged time after the diagnosis of the primary tumor, [3][4][5]9 with reports of time interval longer than 30 years. 11 In our study, the longest interval was 14.2 years.…”

Background/Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical features of metastatic tumors of the pancreas (MTPs) in Korea. Methods: A total of 53 cases (31 males) of pathologically proven MTPs were collected. Clinicopathological characteristics and patient outcomes were evaluated. Results: The median age at the diagnosis of the MTP was 60 years. The median interval between the diagnoses of primary malignancy and MTP was 2.2 years. Primary malignancies were renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (n=14), gastric cancer (n=11), colorectal cancer (n=5), lymphoma (n=4), non-small cell lung cancer (n=3), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (n=2), melanoma (n=2), small cell lung cancer (n=2), gallbladder cancer (n=2), hepatocellular carcinoma (n=1), thymic carcinoid (n=1), liposarcoma (n=1), cholangiocarcinoma (n=1), osteosarcoma (n=1), breast cancer (n=1), duodenal cancer (n=1), and ovarian cancer (n=1). The median survival after the diagnosis of MTP was 23.1 months. Multivariate analysis showed that prolonged survival was associated with RCC as the primary malignancy, the patient being asymptomatic upon the diagnosis of MTP, the absence of extrapancreatic involvement, and surgery included in the treatment. Conclusions: MTPs can occur after a prolonged period from the primary diagnosis. RCC as the primary malignancy, the patient being asymptomatic upon the diagnosis of MTP, the absence of extrapancreatic involvement, and surgery included in the treatment are associated with better prognosis.

“…Although most solid pancreatic masses are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), several differential diagnoses should be suspected, including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET), focal chronic pancreatitis and, rarely, metastatic lesions in the pancreas (MP) [1,2,3]. Reports on the characteristics that can be used to differentiate MP from PDAC based on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) findings alone are scarce [1,3].…”

“…Neither the size of lesion nor the number of needle passes was predictive of complications (15). The complication rate after EUS-FNAB from pancreatic masses including hypervascular tumors, such as metastatic lesions from RCC and HCC appears to be acceptably low (18). In the present case, we utilized EUS-FNAB for the preoperative definite diagnosis and assessed the lesion extent.…”
