ABSTRACT
Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive malignancy that usually follows asbestos exposure. It is the least common subtype of mesotheliomas, following epithelial and biphasic subtypes. Pleural mesothelioma can metastasize, with the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, and opposite lungs being the most commonly reported sites for metastasis. Metastasis of the pancreas is extremely rare, which is why the authors of this case report intend to present the case of a 78-year-old male who was found to have acute pancreatitis, most likely secondary to metastatic lesions.
