ABSTRACT
Biliary obstruction from metastatic deposits in the pancreas is rare. We present a case of primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) with pancreatic metastasis. A 56-year-old man presented to the general surgical department with signs and symptoms of obstructive jaundice. A computed tomography scan revealed multiple pancreatic metastases and a right primary testicular malignancy. Histology and positron emission tomography scanning subsequently confirmed PTL with pancreatic metastases. Metastasis to the pancreas from primary testicular malignancy is extremely rare. There is variation in prognosis between primary and secondary pancreatic malignancies and therefore in atypical cases of malignant biliary obstruction consideration must be given to the rarer secondary malignancies.
