Abstract

: Primary or secondary clear cell sarcoma of the pancreas is an exceedingly rare and aggressive disease. In addition to pathology, molecular analysis is pivotal in differential diagnosis, especially with malignant melanoma. A key aspect in identifying clear cell sarcoma is specific genetic alterations, notably the translocation of t(12;22) (q13;q13), a diagnostic hallmark of this sarcoma subtype, which is absent in malignant melanoma. Treatment of primary clear cell sarcoma of the pancreas is the same as that for adenocarcinoma.
