- Abstract
Simultaneous gastric and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an exceptional situation with short literature review. The accumulated risk throughout life in women is 0.8% for gastric cancer and 0.6% for pancreas cancer. We report a case where both tumors are demonstrated. The patient was surgically intervened removing both tumors and achieving total recovery, with no signs of tumor recurrence after four months. This is to remind us that simultaneous tumors do exist, especially when suggestive images of neoplasia appear in a patient previously diagnosed of tumor in another location.
