Pancreatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (PGISTs) are exceptionally rare, accounting for <5% of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) and <1% of malignant pancreatic neoplasms. We present a unique case of concurrent double primary malignancies in a 46-year-old female with a history of recurrent myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland, managed through surgical resection and adjuvant therapy. She presented with an enlarging abdominal mass, initially suggestive of pancreatic metastasis.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary atresia lead to liver disease requiring transplantation, and Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Indonesia specializes in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
  • A study analyzed LDLT data from 2010-2022, revealing an increase in procedures and highlighting donor characteristics such as an average age of 31.8 years, mostly female donors (59%), and a high incidence of pediatric transplants (88%).
