Solitary pancreatic metastasis from breast cancer: case report and review of literature

et al. 2019

CONTEXT: Pancreatic metastases from primary malignant tumors at other sites are rare, constituting about 2% of the neoplasms that affect the pancreas. Pancreatic metastasis from breast cancer is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose, because its clinical and radiological presentation is similar to that of a primary pancreatic tumor. CASE REPORT: A 64-year-old female developed a lesion in the pancreatic tail 24 months after neoadjuvant therapy, surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy for right-side breast cancer (ductal carcinoma). She underwent distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and left adrenalectomy, and presented an uneventful outcome. The immunohistochemical analysis on the surgical specimen suggested that the lesion originated from the breast. CONCLUSION: In cases of pancreatic lesions detected in patients with a previous history of breast neoplasm, the possibility of pancreatic metastasis should be carefully considered.

“…[6] Although surgery is considered, a first-choice treatment in selected patients with pancreatic metastases but it is associated with significant morbidity. [11] Moreover, the option for resection should mainly be reserved for the case of metastatic processes limited to the pancreas and amenable to surgical resection.…”

We present two patients with breast cancer metastases to their pancreas and review their workup and clinical management in light of our experience and the existing published literature. We propose that metastatic disease to the pancreas has to remain in the differential diagnosis for any patient with a new pancreatic mass and prior cancer history. Surgical resection is a viable treatment option for patients with isolated metastatic disease to the pancreas if the underlying biology of the metastatic tumor is favorable.

Pancreatic metastases from ductal and lobular carcinomas of the breast

Abstract: The pancreas is an uncommon target for metastases from other primary tumours. We discuss clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of pancreatic metastases through presentation of two surgically treated cases of metastases originating from breast cancer.
