Abstract
Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is exceptional, but may appear many years after initial diagnosis and radical nephrectomy of an apparently limited tumour. We report one case of an asymptomatic isolated pancreatic metastasis discovered fortuitously, 21 years after right radical nephrectomy for a low-grade renal cancer. In 1969, a 47-year-old man underwent right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma of “low-grade malignancy”. At this time, no metastases were evident and he remained well on follow-up.
