TI  - Incidentally Detected Gastric Cancer in Pancreaticoduodenectomy Specimen
AB  - The incidence of synchronous pancreatic carcinoma with another carcinoma varies between 1.2% and 20%. Synchronous incidence of pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer is quite low. In our study, a 63-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of fatigue, weight loss and jaundice. In contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography, a lesion with malignant radiological features was observed in the head of the pancreas. Signet-ring cell gastric cancer was found incidentally in the antrum of the stomach in the pathology specimen. Thereupon, a complementary total gastrectomy operation was performed on the patient. Coexistence of gastric and pancreatic cancer is a clinically serious condition. However, surgery can be curative in completely resectable tumors.
