[Synchronous primary multiple cancer: distal cholangiocarcinoma of the intrapancreatic common bile duct and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor associated with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic tail].

Abstract

We present a combination of distal cholangiocarcinoma of the intrapancreatic common bile duct and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor associated with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic tail. This clinical case is unique. When analyzing the literature, we found no any case of similar primary multiple malignant tumor. Importantly, final diagnosis of simultaneous malignant pancreatobiliary neoplasia is possible only via intraoperative biopsy after adequate morphological dissection and research of resected organ complex including molecular genetic analysis due to identical histological and immunohistochemical picture of ductal neoplasia.
