RADIOLOGY: ABDOMEN: Case# 33035: RECURRENT RENAL CELL CARCINOMA VS PANCREATIC. 74-year-old female with history of renal cell carcinoma in 1988 and carcinoma of the breast in 1982.She has undergone left nephrectomy and right mastectomy. 1. Bi-lobed, heterogeneous mass superior to and involving the pancreatic tail could represent recurrent renal cell carcinoma. Other possibilities, though less likely, include pancreatic carcinoma or metastasis from carcinoma of the breast. 2. Bibasilar pulmonary nodules are worrisome for metastasis from either previous renal cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma, or an unknown third primary. Correlation with any prior chest radiographs or studies performed at other institutions would be helpful for further evaluation. 3. Status post left nephrectomy. 4. IVC filter.
