A rare case of resectable solitary pancreatic metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma is reported. The patient was a 57-year-old man who presented with epigastralgia. He had undergone a radical nephrectomy of the right side 30 months previously. The diagnosis of pancreatic metastasis was based on the patient's past history and angiographic demonstration of typical hypervascular tumor staining. Histological examination was confirmatory. The patient was successfully treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy followed by alpha-interferon administration. As of 6 months after surgery, he remains well.</p
