    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Primary sarcomas of the duodenum and pancreas are exceptionally rare malignancies.
    • Pleomorphic sarcoma is an aggressive soft tissue tumor with diverse histological features.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is critical for appropriate management of gastrointestinal sarcomas.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a rare co-occurrence of duodenal and pancreatic pleomorphic sarcoma.
    • Cytological examination via endoscopic brushings revealed a malignant undifferentiated neoplasm.
    • Histopathological correlation confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic sarcoma.

    Findings:

    • The study describes a unique case of primary pleomorphic sarcoma affecting both the duodenum and pancreas.

  • Endoscopic brush cytology was instrumental in achieving a preoperative cytological diagnosis.
  • The rarity of sarcomas at these specific gastrointestinal sites is highlighted.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the utility of endoscopic brush cytology in diagnosing rare gastrointestinal malignancies.
    • Awareness of pleomorphic sarcoma is important for pathologists and gastroenterologists managing upper gastrointestinal tumors.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment of these rare tumors is warranted.
