Evaluation of metastases to the pancreas with fine needle aspiration: A case series from a single centre with review of the literature

Abstract

As metastases to the pancreas are commonly accompanied by diverse prognostic signatures and management strategies compared to primary pancreatic malignancies, their accurate identification is imperative. Pancreatic FNA is a diagnostic modality that can confirm or exclude metastasis to the organ, especially when immunocytochemistry is applied.
