RESUMO
Metastatic carcinoma to the pancreas is uncommon. Pancreatic metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma is exceptional, but may occur many years after the initial diagnosis and treatment of the primary tumor. Presentation of our patient mimicked a head of the pancreas carcinoma so well that it was only after the resectional phase of a Whipple operation that the diagnosis of metastatic renal carcinoma was made 18 years after left nephrectomy. The patient is alive and well 18 months after surgery, having gained weight.
