Primary duodenal carcinoma excluding tumors of the ampulla of Vaterare are rare, thus, therapeutic strategy has not been established. In this study, we investigated the treatment outcome of 7 cases of duodenal carcinoma resected in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2019. The tumor locations were the duodenal bulb in 5(71%), the descending part and the transverse part in 1, respectively. Distal gastrectomy was performed in 4 out of 5 bulbous cases, and pancreatoduodenectomy was performed in the other 3 cases. The pathological stage by the 8th edition of the UICC TNM classification was Stage Ⅰ(T1a/T2, N0)in 3 cases, ⅡA(T3, N0)in 1, ⅢA(N1)in 2, and ⅢB(N2)in 1. R0 resection was achieved in all cases. Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed in 3 of 4 patients with Stage Ⅱ or more advanced Stage. There were no tumor recurrences in 4 patients with Stage Ⅰ and Stage ⅡA, but recurrence was occurred in 2 of 3 patients with Stage ⅢA or more. The surgical outcome for duodenal carcinoma without lymph node metastasis were good. On the other hand, the prognosis for advanced cases with lymph node metastasis were poor. Thus, the development of effective adjuvant chemotherapy is strongly expected.

Superficial duodenal epithelial tumors were previously considered rare. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) has been developed to achieve successful endoscopic treatment. Patients who have undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may have severe abdominal adhesions, and immunosuppressive agents (IAs) may affect the degree of postoperative abdominal adhesions and wound healing, but their effects remain unclear.

Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Background And Aim: This work aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of free-hand endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs).

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 105 patients with duodenal SELs who underwent free-hand EFTR. Free-hand EFTR means no other devices (over-the-scope clip or full-thickness resection device) are required.

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.

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.
