[A Case of Primary Duodenal Adenocarcinoma in the Third Portion Treated with Partial Duodenectomy and Adjuvant Chemotherapy].

A 69-year-old man was referred for vomiting. CT and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a circumferential stenotic lesion in the third portion of the duodenum, and partial duodenectomy and lymph node dissection were performed for the diagnosis of duodenal adenocarcinoma. The histopathological diagnosis was pT3, pN0, pStage ⅡA(UICC 8th)well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with FOLFOX as adjuvant chemotherapy and is alive 2 years and 4 months postoperatively without recurrence. Primary duodenal adenocarcinoma in the third portion is rare, and further case experience is required for selection of the operation and adjuvant therapy.
