# Atypical Lung Metastases From Pancreatic Cancer

## TL;DR

A rare case of pancreatic cancer with unusual lung metastases was diagnosed in a 77-year-old man using CT and biopsy.

## Contribution

This case highlights an atypical presentation of pancreatic cancer lung metastases with a non-specific CT appearance.

## Key findings

- Pancreatic cancer was incidentally detected during a CT scan for lung symptoms.
- Lung metastases showed ground-glass opacities and consolidations on CT, which is uncommon.
- Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with lung metastases.

## Abstract

Pulmonary metastases from pancreatic cancer rarely show an alveolar pattern on computed tomography (CT). A 77‐year‐old man presented with a productive cough; CT showed ground‐glass opacities and consolidations, and a tumour in the pancreas was incidentally detected. Biopsy led to a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with lung metastases.
