Skeletal Metastases of Unknown Primary: A Rare Presentation of Carcinoma Pancreas on Fludeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography.

Abstract

Skeletal metastases of unknown primary represent skeletal metastases where primary tumors remain obscure. They usually arise from lung and prostate cancer. We present a case of a young male who presented with severe bone pains, weight loss, and generalized weakness. Fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography reveals extensive skeletal metastases, a mass in the pancreas tail, and other metastatic lesions. He had no liver or lung metastases. This case presents a rare presentation of carcinoma pancreas.
