Metastatic lesions of the pancreas are rare and account for less than 2% of all pancreatic malignancies. Renal cell carcinoma is most commonly responsible for pancreatic metastasis. Meanwhile, the pancreas is an uncommon site of renal cell carcinoma metastasis.

We will specify through a review of the literature the epidemiological, clinical, prognostic and therapeutic effects of pancreatic metastases of renal cancer.
