Abstrakt: A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a pancreatic tumor measuring 50mm in diameter. The tumor was considered unresectable due to the involvement of the superior mesenteric artery; therefore, she was treated with chemotherapy. Eight months later, an umbilical tumor was observed; biopsy of the exudate revealed a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The patient died 14 months later (i.e., 22 months after chemotherapy was started).
