摘要

To the Editor: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis[1].Its progression is mainly a direct invasion from the primary lesion,and metastasis to distant regions rarely occurs.It was found that metastasis of malignant pleural mesothelioma may occur in the liver,adrenal glands,and kidneys in autopsy cases[2].However,isolated pan-creatic metastasis is extremely rare,even in advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma;there are few cases diagnosed by surgery or autopsy.
