Synchronous metastatic pancreatic lesions are exceptionally rare. Only 25 cases of isolated colorectal pancreatic metastasis amenable to resection have been reported, 11 of those in the distal pancreas. To our knowledge we report the first case of a primary colonic malignancy with a synchronous distal pancreatic metastatic lesion treated with resection. Keywords: Colonic neoplasm; Pancreatic neoplasm; Pancreatic metastasis, Distal pancreatectomy Solitary metastatic pancreatic lesions comprise 0.5% to 3% of all pancreas neoplasms. These tumors arise most commonly from primary tumors of the kidney, lung, or colon. Other primary tumors associated with metastatic pancreatic lesions include breast cancer, skin melanomas, soft tissue sarcomas, and gastrointestinal tumors. Following detection of the primary tumor, most cases of isolated metastatic pancreatic tumors present within a certain time interval defined by the primary malignancy. The median time interval for colorectal primary tumors is 24
