Abstract

We report a patient who presented with a 4-month history of intermittent epigastric pain. Computed tomography (CT) angiography of the abdomen demonstrated a stenotic celiac trunk but also encasement of the common proper hepatic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and proper hepatic artery by an ill-defined hypoattenuating mass of the pancreatic head. Biopsy confirmed metastatic prostate cancer to the pancreas that occurred 4 years after radiation and androgen deprivation therapy. A follow-up staging study demonstrated an osseous metastasis at the T4 spinous process. This case demonstrates an unusual case of prostate metastasis to the pancreas with the involvement of a main abdominal vessel. With treatment improvements leading to longer survival rates from prostate cancer, radiologists should be aware of atypical metastases that may arise in the long term.
