Pancreatic cancer rarely develops cystic ovarian metastasis. We present a 63‐year‐old female patient with unresectable pancreas head cancer. Seven months after the introduction of the chemoradiotherapy, a giant intrapelvic cystic tumor with rapid growth was found. The tumor was resected because the patient complained of severe bloating and no other new metastatic sites could be identified. Postoperative pathological examination diagnosed it as an ovarian metastasis from the pancreas cancer.
