ABSTRACT
Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a rare condition and cases of pancreatic metastasis from cervical cancer are infrequently reported. Furthermore, the incidence rates of pancreatic tumors as the cause of pancreatitis and of pancreatitis in patients with pancreatic tumors are similarly low. Pancreatitis may occur when a tumor obstructs the pancreatic duct. This condition may be difficult to manage and significantly reduces the quality of life because of severe abdominal pain. Here, we present a rare case of obstructive pancreatitis caused by pancreatic metastasis from cervical squamous-cell carcinoma, pathologically confirmed using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy and treated with palliative irradiation to achieve rapid therapeutic relief. It is important to obtain appropriate tissue samples, confirm the pathological diagnosis, and compare the pathological findings with those of the primary tumor to select the appropriate treatment for obstructive pancreatitis caused by a metastatic pancreatic tumor.
