Editorial on “Pancreatic resections for metastases in the pancreas: analysis of surgical and oncologic outcomes”

Abstract

Metastases to the pancreas represent less than 2% of all pancreatic resections; the most common primary malignancy found in this organ is clear renal cell carcinoma. Isolated pancreatic metastases from other organs are exceptional and anecdotal, as evidenced by the published series. Therefore, I will limit my comments to this topic.
