Abstract
Pancreatic metastases from kidney cancer are rare and generally late onset. They are most often detected by an abdominal computed tomography performed as part of kidney cancer surveillance. We report the observation of a 50-year-old diabetic patient who had a nephrectomy for a clear cell renal adenocarcinoma seven years ago, during follow-up, abdominal CT and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed two heterogeneous pancreatic nodules, the kinetics of enhancement resembles that of the primary tumor , and pathology has in fact revealed metachronic pancreatic metastases of his clear cell renal adenocarcinoma.
