Abstract
A case report form is given of a patient who developed a cutaneous implantation metastasis of a punctured pancreatic carcinoma. Needle biopsy of the tumor, located in the head of the pancreas, had been performed before, as well as drainage of the necrotic pancreas tail. Necrosis had been caused by pancreatitis due to stenosis of the pancreatic duct. This is a rare complication which may be due to local changes induced by puncture in the surroundings of the puncture channel.
