Abstract
Isolated pancreatic metastasis from malignant melanoma (IPMMM) is rare because most melanoma patients already have a widespread disease at diagnosis. No adjuvant systemic treatment is known to be efficient in this setting. Experience with pancreatic resection for IPMMM is limited and controversial. We report here the case of an IPMMM patient successfully treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy with a prolonged survival of 6 years.
