Metastatic Small Cell Carcinoma of the Pancreas Originating from the Larynx / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Small cell carcinoma (SCC) is predominantly found in the lungs, and extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) is a relatively rare disease, encompassing 2.5-4% of all SCCs. EPSCCs are commonly found in the esophagus, pancreas, skin, uterus, breasts, and prostate. SCC of the head and neck is aggressive and has a propensity for distant and regional spread. However, solitary metastasis to the pancreas is very rare. We report a case of laryngeal SCC with pancreatic metastasis in a 42-year-old man. The patient underwent resection of a primary SCC followed by a pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy.
