Arcilla CE, Zamora HPA, Perez AR. Solitary pancreatic metastasis from a primary breast carcinoma: A case report. Int J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis 2020;10:100085Z04CA2020.ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. Common sites of metastatic involvement of breast cancer, in order of frequency, are bone, lung, pleura, soft tissues, and liver. Isolated metastasis to the pancreas from a primary breast cancer is a rare occurrence. Presented herein is a case of a 55-year-old female patient postmastectomy for breast carcinoma who developed signs and symptoms of obstructive jaundice secondary to a pancreatic head mass. It was documented to be metastatic from the primary breast cancer and was managed surgically to relieve the biliary obstruction.
Keywords: Breast carcinoma, Isolated metastasis, Pancreatic metastasis
