Early-stage small-bowel adenocarcinoma: a review of local endoscopic therapy.
2005
Early adenocarcinomas in the small intestine are a rare entity. Most adenocarcinomas in the small intestine are diagnosed at a more advanced stage. After surgical resection, only 3 - 10 % are found in stage T1 and 0 - 3 % in stage Tis (high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia), resulting in an overall 3 - 13 % rate of early-stage small-intestinal adenocarcinomas. The diagnosis of early small-intestinal carcinoma by endoscopy is still very rare, although it will probably improve with the development of new endoscopic techniques. At present there have been only two studies and a few case reports on the treatment of early duodenal carcinoma by endoscopic resection. No major complications such as m…
Duodenal Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma in a Celiac Patient
2009
Celiac disease results from damage to the small intestinal mucosa due to an inappropriate immune response to a cereal protein. Long-standing or ‘refractory’ celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of autoimmunity and malignancy. We produced a brief literature review starting from a case of duodenal cancer in a celiac patient. The patient with an history of celiac disease since six months presented with acute manifestation of gastric outlet syndrome. A duodenal stricture was diagnosed at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and confirmed by abdominal computed tomography. He was successfully treated by segmental duodenal resection. In the resected specimens, the diagnosis was duodenal…
[Early duodenal adenocarcinoma arising in gastric metaplasia treated by endoscopic resection].

Duodenale Fruhkarzinome sind eine Seltenheit. Die meisten duodenalen Karzinome werden in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium diagnostiziert. Wir berichten den Fall einer 59-jahrigen Patientin, welche zur weiteren Diagnostik und Therapie eines auswarts diagnostizierten duodenalen Fruhkarzinoms zu uns uberwiesen wurde. Die Osophagogastroduodenoskopie bei Aufnahme ergab eine Typ IIa+c-Lasion im proximalen Duodenum (10 - 12 mm grose zentral diskret eingesenkte Lasion). Mittels Chromo- und Magnifikationsendoskopie konnte die Lasion gut demarkiert und Veranderungen der Zottenarchitektur im Sinne einer Neoplasie gesehen werden. Nach Unterspritzung mit einer verdunnten Adrenalin-Losung konnte die Lasio…
