Unusual Metastasis of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Into the Bladder: Two Case Reports and Literature Review.
Case Rep Urol

We described two patients diagnosed with rare bladder metastasis (BM) from pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a prevalent neoplastic disease primarily associated with ductal adenocarcinoma. The overall prognosis for those patients with metastasis is very poor, with a 5-year survival rate of < 3%. The scarcity of cases in the literature makes this series a significant contribution as it presents the first documented instance of BM originating from pancreatobiliary ampullary cancer and a rare case associated with the Krukenberg tumor.

Background And Objective: Krukenberg tumours (KTs) are metastatic signet ring cell (SRC) adenocarcinomas of the ovary, arising from the stomach in most cases (70%). Other common primary sites are the colon, appendix and breast. The use of the term "Krukenberg tumour" is inconsistent in the literature which makes data interpretation difficult.

(1) Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or stress cardiomyopathy, is an acute heart failure condition with transient left ventricular (LV) motion abnormalities but no significant coronary artery obstruction. It mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with symptoms like chest pain, dyspnea, and ECG changes. (2) Case Report: We present the case of a 44-year-old female with relapsed colon cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Rationale: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is an extremely rare tumor that is not fully understood, SBA accounts for less than 5% of gastrointestinal cancers, Krukenberg tumors account for a lower proportion of all ovarian tumors, close to 2%. Stomach is the most common primary site of Krukenberg tumor. The phenomenon of bilateral ovarian Kukenberg tumor caused by implantation and metastasis of small bowel cancer is extremely rare, with few literature reports and limited clinical diagnosis and treatment data.

Article Synopsis
- - This case report describes a rare instance of metastatic signet ring carcinoma in the ovary of a 46-year-old Black African woman, occurring alongside a benign fibroma, highlighting the complexity of ovarian lesions.
- - The patient experienced significant abdominal swelling and was found to have a large mass in the right ovary, along with signs of metastasis in the lungs and liver, as indicated by imaging and elevated tumor markers (CA 125 and CA 19-9).
- - Surgical intervention involved a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, revealing a mix of spindle cells and signet ring cells in the ovarian tissues, illustrating the unique histological findings associated with this case.
