ABSTRACT
The pancreas is an uncommon site of metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. We herein present the case of a 59-year-old woman in whom pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, found 13 years after undergoing a nephrectomy, was successfully resected and who has since showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. The efficacy of performing a pancreatectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is also presented. We recommend careful long-term follow-up in patients with a history of renal cell carcinoma. Imaging modalities should be used during the routine follow-up to detect any asymptomatic metastases at an early stage.
