Highlights • Isolated pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is relatively rare and it's usually seen in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), but its occurrence from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare.• Pancreatic location is often diagnosed during routine surveillance imaging for the primary lesion.• Patients in whom the pancreas is the only metastatic site and who are fit enough to undergo pancreatic surgery appear to be good candidates for the surgical treatment chemotherapy can improve the quality of life but not survival.• It is necessary a long- term follow-up for patients treated for tumors with known low-grade metastatic potential and relatively good prognosis such as chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
