Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma

Urology. 2003 Sep;62(3):551. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(03)00403-5.

Abstract

A 64-year-old man with a remote history of left radical nephrectomy presented with a recurrent mass in the renal bed. Computed tomography findings suggested a mass in the bed of the psoas. On laparoscopic exploration, he had metastasis to the tail of the pancreas. We describe our surgical management and the patient's postoperative course.
