Although clear cell carcinoma is a common variant of carcinoma of kidney, ovary, thyroid and lung, this tumor rarely originates from the pancreas. On the other hand, gastrointestinal stromal tumors represent the most usual mesenchymal tumors affecting the gastrointestinal tract, and are mostly located in the stomach and small bowel.
In this paper, we report a clear cell variant of pancreas adenocarcinoma combined with gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach in a 76-year-old woman who presented with right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, nausea and vomiting.
Synchronous appearance of gastrointestinal stromal tumors and pancreatic adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported. To our knowledge, this is the first report about clear cell variant of pancreas adenocarcinoma combined with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the literature.
Key words: Pancreas Adenocarcinoma; Clear Cell Carcinoma Of Pancreas; Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.
