We herein report a 68-year-old man who underwent nephrectomy for right renal cell carcinoma 10 years prior. He remained under regular medical observation, and abdominal computed tomography showed tumors in the head and tail of the pancreas. He was diagnosed with pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. He underwent surgical excision. The pathologic diagnosis proved that the pancreatic tumors were metastases from renal cell carcinoma and clarified that an ectopic pancreas in the duodenum had metastases as well. To our knowledge, this is the first case of metastasis to an ectopic pancreas.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010180 Pancreatectomy Surgical removal of the pancreas. (Dorland, 28th ed) Pancreatectomies
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
