Abstract

The pancreas is an uncommon site of metastasis for renal cell carcinoma. We report 2 cases of patients who underwent total and subtotal pancreatectomy 13 and 10 years after resection of the primary tumor. One of the patients already had liver and cerebellum metastasis, the second one had a solitary metastasis to the pancreas. In both cases, tumoral proliferation invaded the lumen of the Wirsung, and in one case was prominent through the papillae.
