An Unusual Case of Urothelial Cell Carcinoma With Metastasis to the Pancreas

Metastasis to the pancreas is far less common than primary pancreatic tumors. Bladder cancer metastasis involving the pancreas is rarely reported. Here, we report a case of metastasis to the pancreas of urothelial cell origin, diagnosed via upper endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration a...

description Metastasis to the pancreas is far less common than primary pancreatic tumors. Bladder cancer metastasis involving the pancreas is rarely reported. Here, we report a case of metastasis to the pancreas of urothelial cell origin, diagnosed via upper endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and biopsy, and coupled with immunostaining. A high index of suspicion must be maintained for atypical metastatic locations of urothelial cell carcinoma, especially to the pancreas.
