Pancreatic metastases from ovarian carcinoma are rare. We present a case of a patient with pancreatic metastasis from primary ovarian carcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. Our case illustrates a unique presentation of a patient with ovarian carcinoma presenting with symptoms secondary to common bile duct dilatation from a pancreatic head mass confirmed through a much less invasive approach. This diagnosis was essential in determining management and prognosis for the patient.
卵巢癌的胰腺转移罕见。我们报告一例经内镜超声引导下细针穿刺确诊为原发性卵巢癌胰腺转移的患者。我们的病例展示了一名卵巢癌患者的独特表现，该患者因胰头肿块导致胆总管扩张而出现症状，通过一种侵入性小得多的方法得以确诊。这一诊断对于确定患者的治疗和预后至关重要。
