Pancreatic collision tumor : mucinous cystadenoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis

Abstract

We present a clinical, radiological, surgical, and pathological correlation case of a 49-year-old woman with a prior nephrectomy due to a clear cell renal cell carcinoma, who was then diagnosed with a multilocular cystic lesion in the pancreatic tail after a routine ultrasound. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a multilocular cystic lesion with a hypervascular wall nodule in the pancreas. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy and had a final diagnosis of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma with an associated component of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (collision tumor of the pancreas).
