RESUMEN
Analizar los casos de metástasis pancreáticas por carcinoma renal intervenidos en nuestro hospital entre los años 2000 y 2011.Material y métodos Estudio retrospectivo donde se recogen diferentes variables de 8 pacientes con metástasis pancreáticas por carcinoma renal intervenidos. Comparación de nuestros datos con los de la literatura. Resultados La enfermedad metastásica del páncreas por carcinoma renal en nuestra serie ha sido de 1,2%. Todas las metástasis han sido metacrónicas. La afectación por sexo ha sido igual. El tiempo medio entre la resección del tumor renal y el diagnóstico de las metástasis ha sido de 12,42 años (rango: 1,62-30,13 años). La actitud terapéutica ante las lesiones pancreáticas ha sido quirúrgica en todos los casos. Hasta la fecha, 7 pacientes continúan vivos. Conclusión La enfermedad metastásica del páncreas por carcinoma renal es poco frecuente (1-2,8%). El intervalo entre la resección primaria y las metástasis puede ser bastante largo. Siempre debe sospecharse metástasis pancreática en los pacientes que presenten masa pancreática e historia de carcinoma renal. Se recomienda un tratamiento quirúrgico agresivo en casos seleccionados. La cirugía en estos casos mejora la supervivencia y la calidad de vida (AU)
Objective: To analyse the cases of pancreatic metastases due to renal carcinoma operated on in our hospital between the years 2000 and 2011.Material and methods: A retrospective study using the variables of 8 patients who were subjected to surgery of pancreatic metastases due to renal carcinoma, and a comparison of our data with those from the literature. Results: The incidence of metastatic disease of the pancreas due to renal carcinoma in our series was 1.2%. All the metastases were metachronous, with both sexes being affected equally. The mean time between resection of the renal tumour and the diagnosis of the metastasis was 12.42 years (range: 1.62-30.13 years). The therapeutic approach to the pancreatic lesions was surgical in all cases. Seven patients are currently still alive. Conclusion: Metastatic disease of the pancreas due to renal carcinoma is uncommon(1%-2.8%). The interval between the primary resection and the metastasis can be quite long. Pancreatic metastasis must always be suspected in patients who present with a pancreatic mass and a history of renal carcinoma. Aggressive surgical treatment is recommended in selected cases. The surgery in these cases improves survival and the quality of life (AU)
