Abstract
Pancreatic metastases are rare. Melanoma, lung cancer and breast carcinoma are the
most common origin of pancreatic metastases, whereas renal cell carcinoma is counted
in only 1–2%. Renal cell carcinoma usually leads to a solitary pancreatic metastasis,
whereas multiple pancreatic metastases are uncommon. We present three cases of multiple
hypervascular pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma, studied with spiral
CT and dynamic MR.
