Background And Aims: The greatest known risk factor for duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is Spigelman stage (SS) IV duodenal polyposis. Endoscopic surveillance is recommended in FAP patients with SS 0 to IV, and prophylactic duodenectomy should be considered in SS IV. Cancer occurs in patients without SS IV polyposis. We assessed the relationship of SS and other factors with duodenal cancer in FAP.
Methods: We performed a case-control study on 18 FAP patients with duodenal cancer and 85 randomly selected FAP control subjects with similar age characteristics. Demographic, clinical, and endoscopic features were compared using univariate and logistic regression analyses to assess factors associated with duodenal cancer.
Results: Fifty-three percent of cases had no SS IV history. SS components positively associated with cancer included duodenal polyp size (77% vs 47%, P = .015), and high-grade dysplasia (HGD; 29% vs 6%, P = .003) but not polyp number or histology. In the papilla, the frequency of tubulovillous or villous histology (80% vs 22%, P < .001) and HGD (30% vs 4%, P = .010) was greater in cases than control subjects.
Conclusions: SS IV polyposis was absent in half of FAP patients with duodenal cancer. Only 2 of 4 SS components (large duodenal polyp size and HGD) were positively associated with duodenal cancer. Advanced pathology of the papilla appears to be an important feature. Revision of SS to emphasize these findings should be considered to better estimate cancer risk.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Patients with MEN1 have a high risk for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with a penetrance of nearly 100%, pituitary adenomas (PitAd) in 40% of patients, and neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the pancreas (40% of patients), duodenum, lung, and thymus. Increased MEN1-related mortality is mainly related to duodenal-pancreatic and thymic NEN.

Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.
Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.

A 55-year-old woman with non-small cell lung carcinoma complained of epigastric pain, bloating, anorexia and postprandial nausea and vomiting over a five-year period. An upper gastrointestinal pan-glucosamine contrast examination revealed a distinctive large, hook-shaped, ptotic gastric lumen with normal motility. The contrast agent demonstrated an abnormal round-trip flow anterior to the spine at the duodenal level, with pooling and gradual passage through this region in strands after prolonged retention.

Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors are relatively rare subepithelial tumors that arise from cells of the neuroendocrine system. Small duodenal neuroendocrine tumors can be treated endoscopically because of their low potential for metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of conventional and underwater endoscopic mucosal resection for duodenal neuroendocrine tumors.
