%X Malignant tumors that metastasize to the pancreas are rare. Among them, renal cell carcinoma is the most common. Surgical resection is more effective in treatment for patients with pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, although targeted therapy is applied, to advanced renal cell carcinoma. It is essential to know exact medical history of the patient, because metastasis can occur late after nephrectomy. Surgical procedure may vary, depending on location and number of tumors. We report a case of resection of a pancreatic head tumor, 20 years after nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma
