Abstract |
A 49-year-old woman with Gardner's syndrome, who underwent total proctocolectomy in 1982, was found to have a cancer of the duodenal bulb. Subsequently, resection of the stomach and duodenal bulb was performed in 1983. The surgical specimen showed an ulcerating tumor in the duodenal bulb which was a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma histologically. Multiple adenomas were present in the gastric antrum and the duodenum. Duodenal cancer so far reported has been mostly confined to the periampullary region, and cancer of the duodenal bulb associated with familial polyposis coli has not been reported.
