Abstract

Metastases from pancreatic malignancy are commonly known to occur in the regional lymph nodes, liver, lung, and peritoneum. Synchronous or metachronous metastasis from the pancreas to the colon is rare, with only 6 cases reported in the literature. We report a man who was found to have adenocarcinoma on biopsies from synchronous lesions in the colon and the pancreas. The immunohistochemistry report revealed the diagnosis of a primary pancreatic malignancy with synchronous colonic metastases.
