Core Tip

Core Tip: This article presents a unique case of metastatic clear cell sarcoma (CCS) originating from the pancreas, emphasizing the rarity of secondary clear cell carcinomas in this organ. Successful surgical intervention, including distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, resulted in favorable outcomes. The study underscores the standard role of surgery in treating advanced CCS, highlights the importance of preoperative imaging, and advocates for thorough long-term surveillance due to the potential for recurrence. The article raises questions about the nature of the pancreatic lesion, suggesting the need for additional evidence to establish its primary or metastatic origin.
