Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding in von Hippel-Lindau disease.
Patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD) may develop pancreatic lesions, including cysts, serous cystadenomas and islet cell tumors. However, only a few cases of pancreatic metastasis have been reported. We present a case of VHLD with multiple pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma. One of the metastases invaded the duodenum, causing massive bleeding.
