A Case of Double Primary Cancer (Gallbladder cancer and pancreatic cancer) in Patient with Anomalous Union of Pancreaticobiliary Duct
Anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct (AUPBD) has been shown to predispose to carcinomas of the biliary tract (bile duct and gallbladder) and pancreatic cancer because of chronic recurrent inflammatory reaction due to pancreatic or bile juice refluxes. However, pancreatic duct would be less affected by the bile because of the relatively higher intraductal pressure of the pancreatic duct. We report a case of metachronous pancreatic cancer in AUPBD patient without choledochal cyst who underwent cholecystectomy because of gallbladder cancer.

Abstract
Anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct (AUPBD) has been shown to predispose to carcinomas of the biliary tract (bile duct and gallbladder) and pancreatic cancer because of chronic recurrent inflammatory reaction due to pancreatic or bile juice refluxes. However, pancreatic duct would be less affected by the bile because of the relatively higher intraductal pressure of the pancreatic duct. We report a case of metachronous pancreatic cancer in AUPBD patient without choledochal cyst who underwent cholecystectomy because of gallbladder cancer.
