| Abstract: | Three cases of pancreatic carcinoma that arose in the tail and extended into the adjacent left kidney are presented. Because of misleading symptoms and radiographic features, the tumors were misdiagnosed as primary renal tumor. In most cases, computed tomography (CT) provides the correct diagnosis and prevents unnecessary surgery. |
