In most cases, diagnosing pancreatic cancer (PC) in a timely manner is challenging owing to the lack of a specific set of symptoms, especially for cancer originating in the pancreatic tail. A patient presented to our hospital with the primary complaint of bilateral scrotal pain caused by metastatic pancreatic tail cancer. Although he had a family history of PC, there were no other risk factors. Here, we discuss the challenges associated with early diagnosis of malignant PC, particularly when it presents in the tail of the organ, and spermatic cord metastasis caused by pancreatic tail cancer.
在大多数情况下，由于缺乏特定的症状组合，及时诊断胰腺癌（PC）具有挑战性，尤其是对于起源于胰尾的癌症。一名患者因转移性胰尾癌导致双侧阴囊疼痛为主诉前来我院就诊。尽管他有胰腺癌家族史，但没有其他危险因素。在此，我们讨论恶性胰腺癌早期诊断所面临的挑战，特别是当它出现在胰腺尾部时，以及胰尾癌引起的精索转移。
