Abstract
In the landscape of pancreatic cancer, extra-pancreatic manifestations like pleural effusion are infrequent. Our case spotlights a 78-year-old female with a recent diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with isolated metastasis to the pleura. The patient presented with exacerbated dyspnea and cough, shedding light on the uncommon link between pancreatic adenocarcinoma and pleural effusion. Pancreatic cancer typically exhibits nonspecific symptoms, and its association with pleural effusion significantly complicates diagnosis, often leading to delayed recognition and management challenges. This case underscores the diagnostic complexities and the need for heightened vigilance when faced with atypical presentations in pancreatic cancer, emphasizing the intricacies of managing such rare extra-pancreatic manifestations.
