Mini-Review: Pancreatic Cancer Presenting as a Bowel Obstruction and the Role of Next-Generation Sequencing

Abstract

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has increasingly become one of the leading causes of death in western countries. However, presentation with colonic metastases is far less frequently reported in the literature and may be misdiagnosed as colonic adenocarcinoma. This is a case of a female patient with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma that presented with a sigmoid obstruction.
