A case report of three synchronous tumors in the same pancreatic specimen.


ABSTRACT: It is known that Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) is a rare malignant solid tumor that cause occlusion symptoms with orthodox dysphagia when locally advanced. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) account for about 2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. The combination of these two lesions, with the synchronous presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) of the duodenum, has never been described in literature, to our knowledge. Here we report a case of combined DA, EPT and PanNET affecting a 71-year-old woman.
