In literature there several promising reports about solitary metastasis mainly renal origin. Here we report for first time on surgical therapy a 1.5 cm pancreatic an adrenocortical carcinoma. The occurred almost 6 years after primary tumor. A partial pancreatoduodenectomy was performed and postoperatively adjuvant mitotane treatment initiated. During follow-up 3 years surgery no evidence tumor recurrence occurred. Resection tumors should be considered, even if mass is suspicious metastatic disease including cancer.
