Malignant Large Bowel Obstruction: A Rare Presentation of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Of the reported cases, three were from metachronous lesions found after previous pancreatic cancer resection via either pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy.3 In only one previous case report has a patient presented with metastatic pancreatic cancer with colonic obstruction as the initial presentation.4 This patient had undergone a previous kidney transplant and it was thought that his immunosuppression contributed to the abnormal presentation. [...]patients without a history of pancreatic cancer who present with a colon mass could still have metastatic pancreatic cancer and pancreatic cancer stains should be used to ensure it is not confused with primary colon cancer.
