In relation to the article "A case of mixed adenoneuroendocrine tumor of the colon", we would like to contribute a new case of this exceptional and biphasic clinical entity - the MANEC (mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma). These tumors represent a mix of pathological components, are highly aggressive, and affect the gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary tract. They are characterized by the dual presence of glandular and neuroendocrine epithelial elements, where each component represents at least 30 % of the tumor.
