BACKGROUND: Occurrence of gastric metastasis as the first symptom of breast carcinoma with a long period of latency before presentation of the primary breast carcinoma is rare. CASE REPORT: A patient with gastric metastasis as the first symptom of lobular breast carcinoma, treated by neoadjuvant preoperative chemoradiotherapy and total gastrectomy, with complete local control. Fourteen months after presentation of the gastric metastasis a primary lobular breast carcinoma was discovered, treated by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonal treatment with complete local response. Twenty-three months after diagnosis of breast cancer multiple colorectal metastases from the breast cancer occurred, which were treated by chemotherapy and hormonal treatment. Eighty-six months after diagnosis of gastric metastasis the patient died due to progression of cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Metastases to gastrointestinal or gynaecological tracts are more likely in invasive lobular carcinoma than invasive ductal cancer. The pathologist should determine whether or not they check estrogen and progesterone receptor status not simply by signet ring cell morphology but also by consideration of clinic-pathological correlation of the patient, such as the presence of a past history of breast cancer, or the colorectal localization of poorly differentiated carcinoma, which may occur less frequently than in the stomach. and D.

Úvod: Synchronní nádory pankreatu a jiné primární nádory nejsou časté. V autoptických materiálech se tato koincidence uvádí kolem 5,6 %. Současné resekce pankreatu a jiného orgánu pro synchronní malignity jsou publikovány pouze ve zcela ojedinělých souborech případů či jednotlivých kazuistikách. Autoři předkládají tři případy řešené chirurgicky v jedné době. Kazuistiky: V sestavě 400 resekcí pankreatu (2006−2014) byli tři nemocní s karcinomem pankreatu a jinou synchronní maligní duplicitou. Dva nemocní se prezentovali symptomatologií nádoru pankreatu – bolesti břicha, úbytek na váze, obstrukce žlučových cest. Druhými nádory byly asymptomatický tumor antra žaludku a tumor ledviny. Pacienti podstoupili pravostrannou pankreatoduodenektomii (PDE) a subtotální gastrektomii s lymfadenektomií, resp. levostrannou nefrektomii. Histopatologické nálezy byly vývodový adenokarcinom hlavy pankreatu pT2N1M0, G3 a adenokarcinom žaludku pT1N1M0, G2, resp. vývodový adenokarcinom hlavy pankreatu pT3N1M0, G2 a renální papilární karcinom pT1bN0M0, G3. Pooperačně u obou následovala chemoterapie gemcitabinem. První nemocný zemřel 12 měsíců od operace s generalizací do jater. Druhý nemocný zemřel 19 měsíců od operace, s nově zjištěným karcinomem prostaty. Třetí nemocný byl vyšetřován pro bolesti epigastria a při gastroskopii byl nalezen tumor antra žaludku, při CT pak asymptomatický malý tumor hlavy pankreatu. Podstoupil pravostrannou PDE a subtotální gastrektomii s lymfadenektomií. Histopatologické nálezy byly: vývodový karcinom hlavy pankreatu pT2N0M0, G1 a adenokarcinom žaludku pT2bN2M0, G3. Následovaly radioterapie a chemoterapie 5-fluorouracilem a leukovorinem. Žije téměř 5 let od operace, bez recidivy. Závěr: Přežití nemocných operovaných pro duplicitní synchronní malignitu pankreatu a jiného primárního nádoru v naší sestavě významně ovlivnily vlastnosti pankreatického tumoru. Pokud se duplicita projevila symptomy pankreatického tumoru, bylo přežití významně kratší nežli u incidentálně zjištěného tumoru pankreatu při manifestaci jiné malignity., Introduction: The occurence of synchronous pancreatic cancer and other primary cancer is not frequent and reaches about 5.6% as reported in autoptic studies. Double resections of the pancreas with another organ due to synchronous malignancies have been published only in quite sporadic sets of cases or individual case reports. The authors present three cases of synchronous pancreatic malignancies and stomach or renal cancers treated with surgery, including results and survival. Cases: Three patients with synchronous double cancer were identified in a series of 400 pancreatic resections (2006−2014). Two patients presented with symptoms of pancreatic periampullary tumors (bile duct obstruction , weight loss and abdominal pain). The second malignancies were identified as incidental during diagnostic work-up (asymptomatic cancer of the stomach, kidney). Pancreatoduodenectomies (PDE) with lymphadenectomies were performed due to ductal adenocarcinomas (pT2N1M0 G3 and pT3N1M0 G2). The second procedures included subtotal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy (gastric adenocarcinoma pT1N1M0, G2) and nephrectomy (renal papillary carcinoma pT1bN0M0, G3). Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine was given in both patients. Survival rates were 12 and 19 months, respectively. The third patient suffered from abdominal pain and weight loss. Diagnostic work-up revealed stomach carcinoma and early pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Double resection – subtotal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy with lymphadenectomy – was performed. Gastric adenocarcinoma pT2N2M0, G3 and pancreatic ductal papillary-mucinous adenocarcinoma pT2N0M0, G1 were found in the specimens. Adjuvant radiochemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and leukovorine was given postoperatively. This patient is still alive nearly 5 years after the surgery, without any reccurence. Conclusion: The survival of patients with double synchronous pancreatic malignancies and other primary tumors in our set seems to be influenced by the stage and biology of pancreatic cancer. The survival was worse when the duplicity was presented with symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer found incidentally when another malignancy is presented has more favourable results., and M. Ghothim, R. Havlík, P. Skalický, D. Klos, R. Vrba, J. Strážnická, L. Skopal, Č.
