Metastasis from pancreatic adenocarcinoma to the cheekbone
Main Article Content
Abstract
Skeletal metastasis by pancreatic adenocarcinoma are infrequent, and those located in the craniofacial region are very rare. We report the case of a 63-year-old Caucasian woman with a metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head previously treated with surgery and chemotherapy presenting a skeletal metastasis in the left cheekbone 5 years after primary treatment. No other similar cases have been previously described. The therapeutic decision was not simple because of the uncommon site of pancreatic metastasis. Surgical resection was the only possibility after the radiotherapy failure.
