Abstract
Metastases in pancreas are uncommon, ranging from 2 to 5 % of pancreatic malignancies. Choroidal melanoma is rare, and less than 1% spread to the pancreas. It can cause obstructive jaundice if it affects the pancreatic head region. Advanced disease is associated with poor prognosis, however immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors (nivolumab or pembrolizumab), alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies (ipilimumab), has shown an increase in survival.
