RESUMEN
A 70-year-old patient was treated in September 2017 for a malignancy in an ileal conduit (IC) which he received in 2009 for the treatment of prostate cancer. The tumour was found incidentally during a routine sonography. A CT scan revealed a mass near the IC. An endoscopy with biopsies showed an intraepithelial neoplasia of the ileal mucosa in the IC. We performed a segmental ileal resection. Histological findings revealed an ileal adenocarcinoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient has remained alive without tumour recurrence up to the most recent negative CT screening in April 2019. Secondary malignancies after urinary diversions are a well-known complication, including procedures using small bowel parts for the urinary diversion. Adenocarcinomas arising in an IC are rarely described in literature. Concerning said tumour entity, surgical removal is often recommended. There is no evidence for the success of chemotherapy or radiation due to insufficient clinical trials. When diagnosing a mass in an IC, a secondary malignancy should be taken under consideration.

The mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a rare malignant tumour and accounts for less than 3% of primary chondrosarcomas. Mostly MC arises from the craniofacial bones, the ribs, the ilium, the femur and the vertebrae. A 54-year-old man was treated due to an icterus of unknown origin. The medical history of the patient consists of a multimodal treated MC of the thoracic vertebrae. A CT imaging identified a 2×4 cm sized mass of the pancreatic head. Suspecting a pancreatic head carcinoma surgical removal was performed. Histopathological a metastasis of MC was diagnosed. Our patient left the hospital after 17 days and died 23 month after surgery. Metastases of MC to the pancreas are rare. When detecting a mass of the pancreas in patients with a medical history of an MC, a metastasis of these tumour should be taken in consideration.
