چکیده
We report the case of 58-year-old gentleman with pancreatic masses, possibly of neuroendocrine origin, with the history of renal carcinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism and pituitary cyst. Histological analysis after pancreatectomy revealed metastases from renal cancer. This unusual case illustrates the challenging differential diagnosis between multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome and metastatic renal cell cancer.

The most common site of recurrence is the lung, however liver and bone metastases are common.There are many reported cases with late metast...
