Abstract

This article focuses on the symptomatic and diagnostic problems of primary duodenal adenocarcinoma by way of two case reports and a literature review.The diagnosis of primary duodenal adenocarcinoma is often delayed because its symptoms may be absent until the tumor has progressed, thus leading to a delay of several months. Patients typically present with a long history of variable and vague symptoms, and many are diagnosed with advanced disease. As regards clinical manifestations, abdominal pain is the most frequent symptom. The majority of these tumors are found to have infiltrated the duodenal wall at presentation, with many being unresectable due to local and distal invasion.
