| Popis: | Pancreatic metastases from lung cancer are uncommon, usually asymptomatic, and tends to indicate a poor outcome. We report a new case of symptomatic pancreatic metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of the lung. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male presented with middle upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed acute pancreatitis features and identified pulmonary nodules, further investigations established the diagnosis of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with pancreas, bone and lymph nodes metastases. During the follow-up, the patient presented with obstructive jaundice and was managed with biliary stent placement. Conclusion: Pancreatic metastasis of lung cancer is infrequent. Symptomatic cases are rare; the patients usually present at an advanced stage with widespread disease, making early diagnosis difficult, and in most cases, patients are managed with palliative therapy. |
