| Abstract |
|
Squamous cell carcinoma of the duodenum is an extremely rare neoplasm worldwide. A 44-year-old female patient was admitted to our institution for abdominal pain, and she was diagnosed with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the duodenum. The duodenal cancer was inoperable due to vascular invasion and regional lymph node metastasis. The patient was treated with palliative chemotherapy, but her disease progressed, and she was eventually referred to a local hospital for supportive care. The prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the duodenum is poor compared with that of usual duodenal adenocarcinoma. We report the details of this case of squamous cell carcinoma of the duodenum along with a review of the literature. (Korean J Med 75:349-353, 2008) |
