Abstract
- Pancreatic cancer with bone metastasis is considered a very rare malignancy. Although the incidence rate of people with pancreatic cancer who develop bone metastasis is unknown, it is estimated as between 5% and 20%. We report a 61-year-old lady who had multiple emergency department visits complaining of lower back pain radiating to the lower limbs for five months. Clinical and imaging workup suggested pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasis to the second lumbar vertebra (L2), lungs, and ovaries.
