Patients with pancreatic cancer are usually in the sixth decade of life and appear cachectic, with signs of malnutrition. Patients mostly present with palpable abdominal mass, epigastric tenderness radiating to the back, hepatospleenomegaly and signs of metastasis in advanced stages. These signs of metastasis include left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (Virchow's node), palpable periumbilical mass (Sister Mary Joseph's node), metastatic palpable mass in the rectal pouch (Blumer's shelf) and the involvement of other nodes in the cervical area.
