Abstract

We present a 78-yr-old man with appendicular metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Barium enema X-ray showed incomplete filling of a distended appendix in a patient with abdominal discomfort. Colonoscopic evaluation revealed firm nodules in appendicular orifice. Histopathological examination of the nodule in the appendix revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography showed a low-density mass in the body of the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography disclosed a hypoechoic mass in the body of the pancreas. Appendicular metastasis is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the second case of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas metastatic to the appendix in English language literature. A brief review of relevant literature is presented.
