Abstract
A 76-year-old woman was admitted for a pancreatic mass. Twenty-one yea rs previously she had undergone a left nephrectomy for renal cell. car cinoma. A computerized tomography-guided needle biopsy of the pancreat ic mass raised the suspicion of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Final pathologic examination of the resected mass after distal subtotal pan createctomy confirmed the preoperative diagnosis of metastatic renal c ell carcinoma.
