Adenocarcinoma in the Duodenal Bulb and Proximal Descending Duodenum: UGI, US and CT Findings
|

Abstract
|
|
|
The findings of upper gastrointestinal series(UGI), computed tomography (CT), and sonography(US) of ten duodenal adenocarcinoma confirmed by surgery (n=7) and endoscopic biopsy (n=3) were retrospectively analyzed.
We performed US in all cases, CT and UGI in 8 out of 10 cases. UGI showed 4 cases of ulcerating type, 3 of stenotic type, and one failed to visualize duodenum due to previous gastrojejunostomy. UGI was more accurate in depicting the mucosal
changes
such
as ulcer, however, it played a limited role in the evaluation of extraluminal extension.
US showed 4 cases of hypocchoic wall thickening, 3 of hypoechoic extraluminal mass, and one of polypoid intraluminal mass but 2 were not detected on US. US accurately detected hepatic and pancreatic metastasis, however, it played a limited role
in
the
evaluation of direct colonic invasion.
CT showed was eccentric wall thickening in 4 cases, large extraluminal mass in 2, and low density intraluminal mass in but one was missed on CT. CT was the most accurate modality to determine the extent of the lesion and adjacent or distant
metastasis
but it could be misdiagnosed as submucosal tumor if the extraluminal component is large.
UGI, CT and US can be used complementary for accurate diagnosis of a duodenal cancer. US may be used as a screening tool for detecting duodenal cancer.
