Sumario:Pancreatic metastases from ovarian carcinoma are rare. We present a case of a patient with pancreatic metastasis from primary ovarian carcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. Our case illustrates a unique presentation of a patient with ovarian carcinoma presenting with symptoms secondary to common bile duct dilatation from a pancreatic head mass confirmed through a much less invasive approach. This diagnosis was essential in determining management and prognosis for the patient.
