Pancreatic Cancer Solitary Metastasis to Colon is a Rare Entity

Metastases in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are present in over 50% of cases at the time of diagnosis, with the liver, peritoneum, and lung being some of the most common sites. By contrast, solitary distant metastasis to the colon is a rare entity but clinically significant. We report 2 cases of synchronous pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma distant metastasis to colon along with a literature review. Our cases demonstrate the utility of colonoscopy to diagnose metastatic disease. Last, as highlighted, palliative stenting can be used in cases of complete obstruction. <b>KEYWORDS</b>: pancreatic cancer; metastasis; obstruction; malignant large bowel obstruction; colonoscopy.

Abstract

Metastases in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are present in over 50% of cases at the time of diagnosis, with the liver, peritoneum, and lung being some of the most common sites. By contrast, solitary distant metastasis to the colon is a rare entity but clinically significant. We report 2 cases of synchronous pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma distant metastasis to colon along with a literature review. Our cases demonstrate the utility of colonoscopy to diagnose metastatic disease. Last, as highlighted, palliative stenting can be used in cases of complete obstruction. <b>KEYWORDS</b>: pancreatic cancer; metastasis; obstruction; malignant large bowel obstruction; colonoscopy.
