ABSTRACT
This article presents a comprehensive case report on an uncommon instance of metastatic clear cell sarcoma (CCS) originating from the pancreas. The high mortality rate of pancreatic carcinoma underscores the importance of precise diagnosis and early detection. The authors report a novel case of CCS with pancreatic metastasis, detailing successful surgical intervention through distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, resulting in favourable outcomes. This study highlights the standard role of surgery in treating advanced CCS and emphasizes preoperative imaging and thorough patient history assessment. This article also underscores the necessity for long-term surveillance due to the potential for recurrence or metastasis. Despite the favourable recovery postsurgery, the absence of subsequent follow-up evaluation prompts consideration of the need for extended monitoring. This article raises questions about the nature of the pancreatic lesion and suggests the possibility of a primary lesion. Further evidence is crucial to establish the correlation between the features related to the development of the patient's primary and metastatic tumours. In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights into metastatic CCS of the pancreas, highlighting the importance of regular postoperative follow-up for improved outcomes through early detection and intervention.
