Metachronous pulmonary and pancreatic metastases from colorectal cancer are rare. The diagnosis of pancreatic metastases is difficult and predominantly relies on computed tomography, pathology and immunohistochemistry. Here, we describe the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for determination of the origin of metastasis and prognostic prediction of colorectal cancer.
