Three cases of clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium are here reported. Clear cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Patients are older and are in the menopause much longer than are patients with typical endometrial carcinoma. This fact may reflect the presence of counterbalanced sex hormones in the process of carcinogenesis.

A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with synchronous mixed clear cell carcinoma of ovarian origin and endometroid endometrial carcinoma after presenting with intermenstrual bleeding for 2 years prior. Shortly after diagnosis she became progressively unwell requiring intensive care unit admission with respiratory failure, pleural effusions and pulmonary emboli. Following a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, laparotomy and emergency percutaneous thrombectomy, she remained critically unwell and was deemed not safe for chemotherapy. Given a high index of suspicion for Lynch syndrome, the patient was treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab and achieved a complete response. Lynch syndrome was subsequently confirmed through germline genetic testing. The patient made an excellent recovery and remains disease-free at 23 months.

Abstract Here, we report surgical treatment of a patient presenting with pancreatic metastasis (MTS) of renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) 11 years after nephrectomy. RCC is one of few cancers that metastasise in pancreas. Jaundice, abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding can develop; however, asymptomatic MTS can be discovered by follow-up after removal of the primary tumour. The patient, 67-year-old female was radiologically diagnosed with a clinically silent mass in the pancreatic body and underwent distal pancreatic resection. The postoperative period was smooth. Four months after the surgery, there were no signs of disease progression.
