A case of pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma presenting as gastrointestinal hemorrhage

of metastatic Microscopic examination of the clear cell carcinoma compatible with metastasis from RCC. Cases of pancreatic metastases from RCC A search of the literature yielded nine cases of hemorrhage caused by pancreatic metastases from RCC.
