Pancreatic Metastases from Bronchopulmonary Atypical Carcinoid: An Uncommon Tumor Spreading to a Rare Location

#303

Introduction: We report an uncommon case of pancreatic metastases from a bronchial atypical carcinoid.

Aim(s): To report a case of pancreatic metastases from a bronchial atypical carcinoid.

Materials and methods: A 78-year-old man had haemoptysis and dyspnea. A CT scan showed a pulmonary middle lobe mass with three liver metastases. The patient underwent lobectomy and the mass was found to be an atypical carcinoid. Octreoscan showed increased uptake in the pancreas. MRI showed three pancreatic lesions, so the patient underwent EUS and biopsy.
