"Segmental Resection of Duodenal Adenocarcinoma: Case Report"

Abstract

Case presentation50-year-old women presented with an acute attack of vomiting endoscopy done and the cause was found to be a sub mucosal tumor located in the third part III of the duodenum, 5 cm distal of the papilla of Vater An emergency laparotomy after admission and correction of fluid and electrolyte was done. Ligation of tumor-feeding vessels with primary, definitive surgical therapy was performed by partial resection of the duodenum with a duodenojejunostomy. Feeding jujeunostomy was done also to supply enteral feeding postoperative. Histology revealed an Adenocarcinoma with a diameter of 2.5 cm after that the patient recover smothly and went home after 10 days to be followed on outpatient basis [6][7][8]. ConclusionTumors of the duodenum are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Partial resection of the duodenum is a warranted alternative to a duodenopancreatectomy, as this procedure has a lower operative morbidity, while providing comparable oncological results [9][10][11][12].
