A case of double cancer (pancreatic and ovarian adenocarcinomas) diagnosed by exfoliative and fine needle aspiration cytology.
A case of double cancer (pancreatic and ovarian adenocarcinomas) in a woman suggested by exfoliative and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is reported. Exfoliative cytology, including immunohistochemical findings of the biliary juice and those of clinical image examinations indicated tubular adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic body. FNA cytologic findings with immunohistochemical observation and those of ultrasound examination showed mucinous adenocarcinoma of the right ovary. As a rare event, pancreatic cancer metastasized to ovarian carcinoma.
