Invasive lobular carcinoma metastasis to pancreas mimicking pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma: A case report and systematic review of the literature

We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with a history of invasive lobular carcinoma presenting with a pancreatic metastasis mimicking a primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma; we also present a systematic review of the relevant literature. The presentation of pancreatic metastasis in the setting of breast cancer is unspecific, and histology is of paramount importance for a correct diagnosis; surgical metastasectomy could be of some benefit in the correct clinical setting.PMID:38176311 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2023.155049
