Abstract

Only 2% of malignant tumor lesions in the pancreas represented metastatic lesions. Endoscopic biliopancreatic ultrasonography, with the possibility of guided biopsy, is one of the main diagnostic methods currently available for lesions in the pancreas. A case of a male patient with a history of small cell carcinoma of the lung with findings of a tumor lesion in the pancreas corresponding to metastasis was described.
