The most common location of these metastases within the pancreas was the pancreatic head (49%) followed by the body (20%). Eighty\u2010five percentage of cases presented with a single radiographically identified mass.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>While the majority of pancreatic tumors represent primary processes, metastatic tumors to the pancreas represent a possible pitfall. The most common tumors to metastasize to the pancreas in this series were renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, and melanoma. General awareness of the most frequent tumors to metastasize to the pancreas is practical when faced with a pancreatic lesion that could represent a metastasis, or in the absence of clinical history.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.24865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,26]],"date-time":"2021-10-26T16:03:32Z","timestamp":1635264212000},"page":"1233-1236","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Metastatic tumors to the pancreas, a <scp>12\u2010year<\/scp> single institution review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6424-2135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aaron","family":"Novotny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine  Aurora Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evan","family":"Sell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Forward Pathology Solutions  Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanjana","family":"Mehrotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine  Aurora Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v17.i43.4747"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MPA.0b013e3181bae9b3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1827.2001.01258.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(05)00287-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"63","article-title":"Accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration in the suspicion of pancreatic metastases","volume":"13","author":"Ardengh JC","year":"2013","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000511864"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.21564"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.23114"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000080248"},{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","first-page":"2414","article-title":"Solitary metastatic tumors to the pancreas: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"91","author":"Robbins EG","year":"1996","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-004-0987-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.23662"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3904\/kjim.1989.4.2.125"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4251\/wjgo.v6.i10.381"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","first-page":"413","article-title":"Pancreatic metastasis from renal carcinoma managed by Whipple resection.
