Abstract: Herein, we present the case of a 73-year-old man with recurrent pancreatic tumors 20 years postnephrectomy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Imaging studies revealed multiple hypervascular tumors in the pancreas, posing a diagnostic challenge in differentiating RCC metastases from well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) chemical shift imaging played a pivotal role in suggesting the presence of fat, supporting RCC metastasis. Surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis.
