Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primitive malignant duodenal tumors are rare, with adenocarcinoma being a notable subtype.
  • Clinical presentation is often non-specific, complicating early detection.

Observation:

  • The most frequent clinical manifestation is occlusive stenosis, leading to frequent complications.
  • Radiographic findings may include neoplastic stenosis, lacunar defects, or lumen strictures.
  • Endoscopy is vital for obtaining biopsies and confirming histological diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Duodenal cancer carries a severe prognosis due to typically late diagnosis.
  • Surgical options include palliative procedures (digestive/biliary diversion) and radical resections (pancreaticoduodenectomy or segmental duodenectomy).

Implications:

  • Improving patient survival, which rarely exceeds 5 years, necessitates advancements in early diagnostic strategies.
  • Timely diagnosis is paramount for potentially curative surgical interventions and better patient outcomes.
