Pure Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Duodenum

Abstract: Primary carcinomas of the small intestine are extremely rare neoplasms. Most of these are adenocarcinomas. Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of small intestine is exceptionally rare with only occasional case reports in the literature. We report here a surgically treated patient with squamous cell carcinoma arising from duodenal diverticula in the third part of the duodenum.

“…Primary duodenal SCC is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. 15,16 Most of these cases were tumors in the descending duodenum near the ampulla of Vater. Distinguishing between metastatic SCC and primary duodenal SCC on the basis of symptoms and imaging findings is difficult, because the major findings of the 2 conditions are similar.…”

“…Duodenal SCCs have been reported to be more likely metastases from other sites, 14 but determining whether the duodenal SCC is a primary or metastatic tumor is necessary. Primary duodenal SCC is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature 15,16 . Most of these cases were tumors in the descending duodenum near the ampulla of Vater.…”

“…Only 7 cases of primary ASC of the ampulla of Vater [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 19 ], 8 cases of primary SCC of the duodenum [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], and 2 cases of primary SCC of the ampulla of Vater [ 14 , 15 ] have been reported in the medical literature. Clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of all these cases are summarized in Table 1 .…”

“…More than 40 histological subtypes of small intestinal malignancies have been described, the most common being adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, and neuroendocrine tumors [ 3 ]. Rare cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and mixed tumors like adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) and adenoneuroendocrine tumors have been reported as isolated case reports [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. ASC of the duodenum is an exceedingly rare neoplasm, with only a few cases described in the medical literature.…”
