Abstract
Seven patients with 1 or more pancreatic masses due to metastases to the pancreatic parenchyma were studied by CT [computed tomography]. Two patterns were observed. Three patients had multiple nodules studding the pancreatic surface. Four patients had a solitary focal mass indistinguishable from a primary pancreatic neoplasm. In patients with a solitary focal lesion surgical biopsy may be necessary to differentiate between metastasis and primary pancreatic carcinoma.
