Two cases of renal cell carcinoma, metastatic to the pancreas, are presented. The lesions were hypoechoic with ultrasound examination, and were mixed iso- and hypodense with computed tomography. Angiography was performed in one case, and showed a typical hypervascular pattern of the metastatic tumor.
