Abstract
Introduction: Metastatic tumors of the pancreas are uncommon, but renal cell carcinoma is one of the few known cancers that can metastasize to the pancreas. Few cases have been reported as being metachronous multicentric metastases to the pancreas, but none associated with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and reported in literature, to our knowledge. Case presentation: We describe a case of 66-year-old woman who was diagnosed with multicentric pancreatic metastases from clear renal cell carcinoma associated with concomitant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, after 14 years from the initial diagnosis of kidney cancer. For this patient, the symptoms were unspecific for neoplastic disease, she had multiple pancreatic metastases which is an uncommon finding, but even rarer was the association of metastases with neuroendocrine tumor in the pancreas. Because of the good outcome and survival, surgical resection is recommended for solitary and multiple pancreatic metastases, as well as for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Conclusion: Differential diagnosis for multiple pancreatic tumors is undisputedly important, even though it would not have changed anything in our patient's preoperatively course. Patients with renal cell carcinoma must follow long-term surveillance with regular examination and imaging investigation so that any possible metastases can be detected early and treated properly.

Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy in Elderly Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111810.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Recent single-center retrospective studies have focused on laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) in elderly patients, and compared the outcomes between the laparoscopic and open approaches. Our study aimed to determine the outcomes of LPD in the elderly patients, by performing a systematic review and a meta-analysis of relevant studies. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted utilizing the Embase, Medline, PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases to identify all studies that compared laparoscopic vs. open approach for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Results: Five retrospective studies were included in the final analysis. Overall, 90-day mortality rates were significantly decreased after LPD in elderly patients compared with open approaches (RR = 0.56; 95%CI: 0.32−0.96; p = 0.037, I2 = 0%). The laparoscopic approach had similar mortality rate at 30-day, readmission rate in hospital, Clavien−Dindo complications, pancreatic fistula grade B/C, complete resection rate, reoperation for complications and blood loss as the open approach. Additionally, comparing with younger patients (<70 years old), no significant differences were seen in elderly cohort patients regarding mortality rate at 90 days, readmission rate to hospital, and complication rate. Conclusions: Based on our meta-analysis, we identify that LPD in elderly is a safe procedure, with significantly lower 90-day mortality rates when compared with the open approach. Our results should be considered with caution, considering the retrospective analyses of the included studies; larger prospective studies are required.
