Brain metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) are extremely rare. We report the case of a patient with PA treated by chemotherapy for liver and lung metastases. In spite of efficient control of the disease and an overall survival of more than 4 years with chemotherapy, the patient developed brain metastases. Brain metastases were revealed by headaches with mental confusion, and diagnosed by cerebral computed tomography scan. Treatment by radiotherapy could not be started because of the rapid fatal outcome of the disease.

胰腺腺癌(PA)脑转移极为罕见。我们报告一例PA患者,其因肝和肺转移接受化疗。尽管化疗有效控制了疾病,患者总生存期超过4年,但仍发生了脑转移。脑转移通过伴有精神错乱的头痛被发现,并经脑部计算机断层扫描确诊。由于疾病迅速导致致命结局,无法开始放疗。
