Abstract

Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas has a poor prognosis. When distant metastasis occurs in the liver, image-guided percutaneous interventions are crucial for both diagnosis and treatment. In this case report, we describe a 67-year-old male with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and metastatic liver lesions. The lesions were biopsied leading to hemorrhage on post-procedure day seven.
