Abstract

The incidence of synchronous double primary malignancies is rare. There were only two cases with synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic cancer has been reported so far (J Surg Case Rep 2017(9):rjx182, 2017; Indian J Palliat Care 20:53–6, 2014). Whether double primary malignancies to be operable is an interesting and important issue for surgeon. Here, we report a rare case of synchronous double primary malignancies of the liver and pancreas received simultaneous hepatic segmentectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy.
