Core Tip

Core Tip: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare form of pancreatic cancer, and the incidence of synchronous concomitant pancreatic and gastric cancer is relatively low. We report a patient with simultaneous acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas with gastric cancer, and he underwent radical surgery for both the pancreas and the stomach. This is the first case of concomitant cancers related to pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma and gastric cancer. We also reviewed the literature on simultaneous pancreatic and gastric cancers.
