Soft tissue metastasis from pancreatic cancer is a very rare entity. We reported a case presenting with multiorgan and soft tissue metastasis on computed tomography. Computed tomography scan showed a hypovascular mass in the pancreatic body and tail. Computed tomography guided biopsy from muscle metastases diagnosed an undifferentiated tumor. Based on clinical, radiological and pathological correlation, the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma was established. There are few reported cases of skeletal muscle metastasis from pancreatic cancer. Immunohistochemical staining and imaging findings should be used together to determine the correct diagnosis.
