PRIMARY DIVERTICULA OF THE DUODENUM*

Primary tumours of the duodenum.

Six primary duodenal tumours were diagnosed in our 300 bed institute during a period of 10 years. Two patients had benign tumours (leiomyoma and carcinoid) and four had malignant tumours (adenocarcinoma). The most common manifestation was severe iron deficiency anemia. Diagnosis was usually delayed (with a mean time of 7.7 months from initial complaints), endoscopy being the most common and use...

Primary adenocarcinoma of duodenum.

Primary duodenal adenocarcinoma (PDC) of the distal half of duodenum is extremely rare. We report a case of a young male with adenocarcinoma of third and fourth part of duodenum presenting with long standing proximal small bowel obstruction with associated weight loss and anemia. Esophago-gastro-duodeno-scopy showed a fungating intraluminal growth in third and fourth part of the duodenum. Compu...

Primary follicular lymphoma of the duodenum.

Follicular lymphoma, a common nodal lymphoma, is rare in the gastrointestinal tract. When seen in this location, duodenal involvement is frequent. Most patients have localized disease, and survival appears to be excellent even without treatment. Although the outcomes are improved, the morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic features remain similar to those of nodal follicular lymphomas. We d...

The diagnosis of primary tumours of the duodenum.

This paper discusses the incidence of primary malignant tumours of the small intestine and reports in detail the clinical and radiological features of 19 patients with primary duodenal tumours and discusses the differential diagnosis.
