Pancreatic Metastasis of Breast Cancer: A Rare Cause of Obstructive Jaundice

Abstract

The pancreas is a rare site of metastasis from malignant tumours. Pancreatic metastasis accounts for less than 5% of all pancreatic malignancies. The most common malignancies metastasizing to pancreas are the renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and colon carcinoma. Pancreatic metastases from breast cancer is a rare clinical entity, and is associated with dismal prognosis. Here we present a rare case of solitary pancreatic metastasis from ductal breast carcinoma.
