TITLE=Surgical Excision of Duodenal/Pancreatic Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma JOURNAL=Frontiers in Oncology VOLUME=4 YEAR=2014 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/oncology/articles/10.3389/fonc.2014.00218 DOI=10.3389/fonc.2014.00218 ISSN=2234-943X ABSTRACT=

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a potential to metastasize to almost any site and this may occur many years following nephrectomy. We present six cases with uncommon sites of metastasis: four patients presented with distal pancreatic metastasis and two with duodenal/head of the pancreas metastasis. Time to metastatic disease varied from 1 to 19 years following renal surgery. For patients are alive and two succumbed to their disease. Long-term survival can be achieved with aggressive surgical excision of disease.
