Possible Genetic Links Between Solitary Fibrous Tumor and Pancreatic Cancer: A Rare Case of Solitary Fibrous Tumor and Pancreatic Cancer Concurrence

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent form of pancreatic cancer, originating in the duct lining of the pancreas. The simultaneous occurrence with a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents an unexpected finding. We present a case involving a 64-year-old female with synchronous pancreatic cancer and SFT. The patient initially experienced severe abdominal pain, visible jaundice, and itching. Diagnostic imaging revealed a mass in the head of the pancreas and a soft tissue mass in the right hemipelvis. Further investigations included histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and genetic testing. Subsequently, the patient underwent appropriate management, which involved the excision of both masses and radiochemotherapy. The discussion focuses on the genetic linkages in this rare presentation, aiming to identify treatment connections for both tumors. Throughout this case report, our aim is to contribute to enriching the limited literature with new insights and underscore the importance of identifying genetic linkages between both tumors which may lead to more effective management strategies and better treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent form of pancreatic cancer, originating in the duct lining of the pancreas. The simultaneous occurrence with a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents an unexpected finding. We present a case involving a 64-year-old female with synchronous pancreatic cancer and SFT. The patient initially experienced severe abdominal pain, visible jaundice, and itching. Diagnostic imaging revealed a mass in the head of the pancreas and a soft tissue mass in the right hemipelvis. Further investigations included histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and genetic testing. Subsequently, the patient underwent appropriate management, which involved the excision of both masses and radiochemotherapy. The discussion focuses on the genetic linkages in this rare presentation, aiming to identify treatment connections for both tumors. Throughout this case report, our aim is to contribute to enriching the limited literature with new insights and underscore the importance of identifying genetic linkages between both tumors which may lead to more effective management strategies and better treatment outcomes.
